Full Size Jeep Network

Well my new-old rear springs are getting pretty dang saggy again.

And my rear quarters are pretty chewed up.

And the Jeeps too low.

So where do I go from here? Up, obviously.

I'm not opposed to the idea of moving the rear axle back a little to open up the wheel well and loose some overhang. Keeping in mind that my 74 is post mount rear, are there some spring perches I could buy and weld on the back with some longer leafs? I think I need to look for about 6 inches of lift and 3-4 more inches of wheelbase.

3 inch springs and a shackle reverse would take care of the front lift.

Does anyone have a better idea for the rear?

Does anyone have any idea what spring I would need to use to gain 3-4 inches of wheelbase and 5.5-6 inches of height?

You can convert to box mount rear springs in back, but you have to remove the front hanger, which is a PITA. Its both riveted and welded.

If you moved to box mounts, and when shackle flip, with GM 62" springs, you gain about 3" of wheelbase I think (going off memory, may be more/less). And about 6-7" of lift, depending on the springs, and if you removed the overloads.

Tad does make a shackle-flip kit for the rear post mounts now.

Wow that's good timing, that's certainly an option.


With 6 inches of lift what size tire will the front fenders take without cutting of major rubbing?

Without a lot of cutting you can fit 33's. The rear fenders are you're main problem with any Wag.

If you move the rear axle 3-4" and bigger tires you will have to trim anyways.

Right but I don't want to trim the front fenders. I want to lengthen the rear openings

Like Tads pushmobile

Ok so I think this is the master plan.

Skyjacker 4 inch onto the 91 with 31's

Tad's kit and the stock 91 leaves onto the Cherokee with 33's.

And eventually something with big tires, as much lift as nessecary, and some M715 esque fenders. Maybe something like CROM with wider tires.
