90 XJ springs

I don't know of any company that sells 2" full springs. What is wrong with your stock suspension? Are the springs sagging? You could get a budget boost which would be a 2" poly spacer up front and a 1" block with 1" shackle for the rear. If the rear is sagging lower, you could get a 1.5" block with a 1" shackle. You could also do an add-a-leaf but it is not reccomended as it rides stiff.

for more info on thier budget boosts.

I put a 2" Skyjacker budget boost on my XJ and I like it. It is spacers for the front, and a full legnth add-a-leaf for the rear. The ride is stiff in the rear.

For about $600 you can get a Rubicon Express 3.5" lift kit for your XJ, including full rear springs and shocks. It rides very well, the only problem would be that your 235's might look a little silly. With a 3 to

3.5" lift you will not need any t-case mods. You MAY need to drop the T-case 1" to help put the angles back in order, but you will not need a SYE (short shaft kit).

for more information on the RE kits.

You can also buy good used stock springs around from people who have upgraded.

I have a 2" lift kit for ours that I haven't put in yet. It is just two front spacers and two rear blocks. Not expensive. Our shocks are really old anyway so that is just a maintenance expense...

Mike, don't forget to re-install the front bumpstop AFTER the new spacer and old spring are back in. I just removed the shocks and with stands under the frame, jacked up the pass side of the jeep under the steering knuckle as far as I could. This pretty much lets the stock spring all but fall out. Also, make sure you get the spacer right-side up. It should be grooved for the spring. Is it a full 2" spacer? Who made it?

I just looked and they are Daystar 1 1/2" front spacers with 1 1/2" blocks.

OK, so it should be a poly spacer. I have the poly's and they are good.. No clunking like the metal ones. Sounds like you are all set.

You can do a brand new Rough Country 3 inch lift kit with new coils in the front and new rear leaf srpings (it includes 4 hydro shocks) for $499.00.

I'm sure BDS has springs for a lot less than that as well.

Crown Automotive makes a standard 4 leaf spring for your Cherokee. Just contact one of their distributors. I'm sure they are less than $100.00 each!

The springs in the back are flat, the springs in the front are sagging alot, the passenger side front is sagging lower than the driver's side. I notice other cherokees around town and I think I have the lowest 4x4 cherokee in town. Guess I'm more aerodynamic that way though. I just notice when I try to crawl under there its a tight fit for me.

I got this thing from a guy from New York and man is the underside rusted out. I went to replace the fuel filter and the bolt on the bracket holding it has rusted away, I cant get a socket on it. I looked at the springs and alot of the area around them is starting to rot away :( I think I'm gonna just ride it like it is then trade it in for a newer cherokee with less problems. I was trying to go the ultimate cheap way on this one but I think it's too far gone. Thanks for the info on the lift kits though, I'll most likely lift the newer xj when I get it.

For your future newer XJ, also look into the Old Man Emu suspension kits. I have the 2 1/2 inch kit, replacing the front and read springs and the shocks, and the ride is better than when I got it. The parts aren't the cheapest, but are well designed and built.
