how much does the front of a cherokee weigh?

[XJRunner]

I'm getting my shocks rebuilt and valved and would like to be able to tell them how much the front of a average cherokee weighs. Anyone with a prerunner type jeep weigh their front end? Or know any good valving? Bilstein 7100s

IIRC mine was 2600lbs in the front and 1800lbs in the back last time I weighed in.

Go to a scale somewhere, or the dump, ask them to tell you.

jeep is immobile... lol I just told them a googled estimated weight and that it was a jeep cherokee, they do shocks everyday they'll get it better than it was

Why not wait until it's rolling or close to finished and get it just right?

because I'm on a limited time schedule, as soon as I said cherokee he said my valving was way off

A lot of people like the 360/80 valving in their 7100s. That's what I have in mine.

i had 360/80, i always thought it was soft and so did mirage motorsports, I have 360/100 now, we'll see how this does

360/80 was too soft for me as well with the RE spring in the Comanche.

It feels great for me with Deaver coils, but then I'm probably not (definitely not) running it as hard as You ran yours Jim.

True. I always told my friends when getting into my Jeep, beware, because it rides like a floor jack on the street. This meant it would take the big hits a lot harder...
