Hi, i am sure the subject has been beat to death every other week but i am fairly new to the XJ world and need to update the suspension on my 93 cherokee country. looking for some advice.
the specs are 1993, 4.0L auto, 231, non disco front housing, 8 1/4 rear axle. gear ratio? 3.55 perhaps? suspension stock
can i swap control arms, shocks and coils from either a TJ or grand cherokee into the XJ without any mods?
I am going to relocate the front brake line down to get an extra inch or two. and looking at the budget lift methods, because I need to update the old parts and dont have enough funds for a good lift kit yet.
my plan was:
grand cherokee coils,control arms and steering linkage. new shocks or re use the ones from the grand cherokee. 1" coil spacer. and AAL for the rear leaf pack. i dont think a t case drop will be necessary but will put one in if there are driveshaft vibes. also is track bar relocation bracket needed?
your thoughts? good or bad idea? or just save up the $400 for a RE lift?
