Just a brief warning to cherokee owners. If you intend to replace your rear springs be prepared for seized front bush bolts, as these are screwed into an anchor nut inside the chassis frame you can have real heart ache (as I'm having now). I would advise a good long soaking in easing oil for days in advance. Mine were seized into the steel bush tube and bent the mounting badly, you have to screw the bolt all the way out before cutting it off otherwise the tail gets stuck in the anchor nut.

it did, had to open pocket up to remove it and replace with standard nut and washer, took 4 hours to do nsr and one hour to do osr, also put 2" lift on it so modified rear shock mounts. then moved onto front, fitted hd plus 2" spacers only to find bloody thing was lower than before, refitted old springs with spacers, will be contacting supplier and cropping off various dangly bits.
