this is the "tad" perch

I got them off of IFSJA, i can't remember from who.

they are really nice. really beefy, really long with the 1 center and +/-1 inch offset centering pin holes.

How good does the front leaf swapped cherokee work on the road without running stabilizer bars? Is there any wobbling, or control issues? I have a serious death wobble problem, and I am thinking about just doing this swap.

 

[xj_man_646]

nope, only 'wobble' i get is due to the severely un-balanced 36" TSL's. the bushings in my springs are shot beyond being bad...almost gone, and i still don't get any wobble from that. new bushings, and it should handle really well.

you sure your death wobble isn't due to bad TRE's, or ball joints? i'd replace those before swapping out suspension.
