Parting out a Jeep.....

Ok spring is coming and I have the energy to get out and find more parts for my Rock Lizard budget lift. I was going to get a set of grand cherokee coils for 40 bucks. I just happened to run across a guy parting out an 1995 Grand Cherokee w/V8. Lady filled the engine with water and cracked the block. He got the whole thing for like 200 bucks. I already tried getting the rear axle. He is keeping both axles, tcase, wheels and a few other goodies.

He sold me the front coils for 30 bucks and threw in the roof rack which is a hell of a lot nicer then the one on my 1988 XJ. Will the roof rack fit? Do they both use the same roof rack or is the one for the grand cherokee bigger?
Anything else I should get that will work on my XJ? I thought about the lower control arms but I have that set of Rancho's listed below.



This is what I have so far:

1) Grand Cherokee Coils springs [40.00] Still Needed
2) Stock 5/8" Coil Spring Isolators [5.00]paid

2) D35 Ubolts [10.00]
3) Stock MJ Leaf Packs w/shackles [75.00]
4) Steel&Hardware for Clamps [20.00]
5) Shocks: OME Rear GC ZJ [41.50]paid

Total= 146.50

Grand Total to Date= 236.50
Estamated Total=300.00
 
I don't know if the roof rack will be a direct fit, but you can easilly make it work. There are alot of different mounts out there. You can also make your own adapters if it is too narrow. A quick measure w/ a tape will let you know
