You might not be able to measure them unless you know what brand they are and look them up. Some lift coils have more lift but are shorter even they don't compress as easily and have a stronger or larger spring rate. You might just have to put them on and measure.

They are thick and not as many coils as my stock but un pressed they are as long as my coils + my 3 inch puck ....

Celticclove

Is it better to have more coils on the spring or less but thicker spring?

Is there a part number anywhere on them?

dukie564

find a part #, or install them. There is no way to measure them and get the lift amount since the spring rate and unloaded length vary from manufacturer to manufacturer

I have a 99 xj sport AW4 c8.25 29 spline with 3.55 axle ratios. If I bought a Spartan locker now and then later down the line wanted to change gears would I have to get a new Spartan or would the same one work with gear swaps?

dukie564

same one should work depending on the gears you choose. If you go beyond the stock carrier break I believe you would need to get a new locker at the same time (since you would need to replace the carrier as well)

Okay thanks dukie. It's sounds like a better idea to just wait it out then instead of potentially wasting money.

i have a noise when i put it to drive or reverse and cant figure our where exactally its comming from. seems to be from either the alt or a/c comp. Anyone heard this before??

Thanks

dukie564

my guess is that since it's onlt when it's in gear that it has nothing to do with the alt/ac compressor. Sounds like loose flexplate bolts (between the engine and transmission). Take the inspection cover off and make sure they're all tight.


Do a search for "flexplate bolts cherokee" - fairly common issue on automatics

Ok, thanks. ill try that, But its not comming from that area. Its like its common from between the alt and ac comp and at approximately 2000 rpm

I just got a used Cherokee a few weeks ago and the fuse box has been raided. Can anyone point me in the direction of a layout so I know what size fuses go where? Just picked up a pack from advance so I'm just going to replace them all regardless. Should I clean the area, pour coke on it or something? lol I have no manual and searching for fuse related things was far too general.

You should be fine without cleaning it, unless there is mud or something in it. Just google search a fuse diagram, what year is your xj if it's a close year to mine I will take a pic of my fuse panel for ya if you can't find a diagram online. Shouldn't be too hard to find though.

So my search for these two question have lead to very confusing results. First after the peugot in the xj snuffed out the slave started acting dumb and leaking in the mj (also peugot), when i replace the slave what is the actual fluid im supposed to use? Everything i saw says dot 3 is a no no but non conclusive to the actual fluid needed. Second right now the tranny in the mj has straight gear oil in it. Some shops told me there is supposed to be an additive in it. True or false? If true what fluid (or additive should i use?
