wow... a LEAF SPRUNG front end on a cherokee... i guess someone thought it would be funny to tell him that leafs were better than coils up front =)
You'd be surprised how many front/rear leaf sprung XJ's are out there, or even leaf front and linked rear.
i would think you'd be better off starting with a YJ foundation, at least you'd have an actual frame to work with
It isn't really much of an improvement over our unibody (wrangler guys break frames..). I guess its a matter of 2 doors or being one of the cool kids.![]()

Many people do this because it's a hell of a lot easier to swap in a bigger axle with leafs than links. Some will do it temporarily to get wheeling again while designing the links.wow... a LEAF SPRUNG front end on a cherokee... i guess someone thought it would be funny to tell him that leafs were better than coils up front =)
You don't get out much. Do you??

Im pretty happy with my 4 inches and 32's. Its barely rubs at all. Bumpstops aren't setup yet out back, but I have 3 inches of hocky pucks in front. Front fenders are massaged, and opened up. Flares are trimmed inside. Its a RE 3.5 kit, with RC long arms and an mj shackle out back.

you're gonna love the rear suspension on the massivemobile :greensmok 6 links, 2 leaf springs, 2 axles.the really cool kids use leafs AND links on the same axle!! :shocked:
X2. Been wondering what the "official" line for LCOG is for a while, my suspicion is that there isn't one. Everyone who wants to be cool just tacks it onto what they call their rig...This brings up a good question, "What constitutes Low Center of Gravity?"
I don't think 32" tires under 4 inches of lift can be considered LCOG.
I pulled this from another forum and I think it works as a good guideline for a Low COG:
best definition I can come up with is " Less than 1" of lift for every 1" of tire size over 30 inches"
so 33's on less than 3"
35's on less than 5"
37's on less than 7"
I'm running 33s with a 3" lift and I'm not sure I would call it "Low." It's definitely a little lower than a lot of other XJs that run 33's.
When the time comes, I'll lower to either stock height or do a 1" lift and keep my 33s. Then I'll boast about being Low.
