I'm going to be replacing my rear leaf springs on my 2001 cherokee sport.
with OME, 2 inch leafs.
i was looking at my rear leafs i'm going to take off.
i noticed the shackle end of the leaf has a bolt and nut
and the eye toward the front has a bolt through it but seems to
bolt into the frame? didn't see a nut.
Is the nut on the front eye welded in the frame?
Is all i have to do to remove the front eye leaf is just unbolt the
one bolt ?
don't want to mess it up.
any info on this would be helpful to let me know what to exspect.
 
it is a welded nut. I suggest you coat all of the fasteners with some form of a penetrating oil such as PB BLaster, JB80 or WD40. Hopefully it will loosen for you, if not you have to make access to the nut as it will be spinning on the inside of the unirail. Can make for a long lift install.
