Prayed and it worked-- driver's window froze up--or water got in there and it froze up...at any rate it wouldn't roll down, then later it did and came off track. When I came back down to sea level is started to work normally...knock on wood.

Im thinking you can slap a whole s-10 pack... 2.5" axle stretch 5"lift and the main is 2"longer than stock.
Since you have a welder make some relocation brackets.
$20 a pack at the pick/pull down here.

That is incorrect sir, S10 springs are 54" that's 3.5" longer than the cherokee springs!

Also from the front eye to the pin is 3" longer

That being said I was able to install the full s10 leaf pack! All my bolts broke when trying to remove the stock springs so I was forced to relocate the mounts, by moving the front mount forward and drilling an offset hole in the spring perch you can install the full pack.
