I bought these because the reviews were decent but after I installed these in my Cherokee XJ then took my family for a ride. When we got back the leaf springs had totally flattened out. As in just a horizontal bunch of metal. Now a week later it still hasn’t come back up. If you plan to have anything other than yourself in the jeep you should get something else.

IMPORTANT: This is not a difficult job, just unbolt and replace --- however, if you intend to change these in your backyard with a 3/8 drive socket set and some jack stands you are probably setting yourself up for a very bad time.After 20 years in the rust belt none this stuff wants to turn without some advanced tools and methods. Of special concern is the front eye bolt:1) The nut is welded to the inside of the frame with no access. If you break the bolt or strip the nut now the fun begins.2) The eye bushing sleeve rusts to the bolt, see item 1) above for the consequences.I cut the old spring eye and bushing outer sleeve off, then cut away the bushing (a Rockwell Sonicrafter, zoomed through the rubber in seconds) and then used an air chisel to peel the sleeve away from the bolt. With all that gone then i could use the torch to heat the nut. So don't even think about reusing that bolt once you get it out, replace it!Springs are heavy, shipping is expensive. With free shipping these are an unbeatable deal. The box was destroyed, turns out a cardboard box with a wad or two of packing paper was no match for 2 leaf springs, they would have been better off to tape them together and put the label right on the springs -- no matter, springs are tough and arrived undamaged.These came with the bushings front and rear which was a plus. I also purchased new shackles, u-bolts and front bolts and recommend you do the same. Lifted the back of the Jeep more than 3" at the wheel arch and got rid of all that clunking and creaking, in addition to the old springs being flat both of the front spring eyes were broken.Great deal, just assess your resources before you begin.

PRO TIP: if you have squeaky leaf springs buy yourself some motorcycle chain wax. It sprays on and penetrates good but will dry so not to attract dirt. It will lube your pack eliminating squeaks and protect from rusting! try and do this with axle drooped so springs are flexed apart for maximum results!I installed these to add a little lift and get rid of the "sag" that most XJs have. I also added Moog heavy duty coils up front. First things first, if your rig is rusty do yourself a favor and buy new eye bolts. Next Beg borrow or steal...ok maybe not steal but try to get ahold of a torch maybe rent?. It will cut instillation time down to minutes rather than hours.... seriously it will. As a professional who has changed probably hundreds of springs in my life it will make your life so much easier, its called a hotwrench for a reason.I ended up getting almost 2" of lift between the Dorman rears and the Moog front coils. The difference was very noticeable. I did not want a big lift just enough to clear 30x9.5 tires maybe 31s and not ride like a 2x4 on rollerscate wheels. These do just fine. Picture shows with 31s, there is minor fender rub on the front at max turn with stock wheels.The bad, well if you are going to tow with your rig or you have alot of gear in your rig at all times then you may want something a little beefier, these do sag a little under heavy load. I guess thats the trade off, comfortable ride or max ground clearance. In my case this was my daily driver with minimal gear in it daily and the ride was nice so I am happy.

EDIT: 2024 - It's been many years since I posted this review. I recently purchased another Cherokee which needed some work. I purchased these springs again, and they are great. Just like last time, I added a couple of spacers to the front springs (3/4") to even out the ride.Original review: I feel like a bit of an idiot, because I ordered these under the assumption that they were a direct replacement for the springs on my 2001 XJ Sport. However, these are actually heavy duty springs for the Up Country trim package, as well as those with a towing package. After installing them, I was reluctant to spend another day swapping them with the correct springs (not to mention the stress of returning such oversized items), so I opted to keep them. It's fine, though; I grew to like them a lot and actually prefer them over the softer, lower sitting OEM springsThat said, the springs are a direct fit and work great. They are very stiff and the ride is obviously affected by this. They reduce the body roll on turns, and also translate every little bump and crevice on the road directly into the seat of your pants. Oh, and they raise the rear end 1.5" over stock, so if you are swapping these into a Jeep that was not formerly equipped as such, then you'll probably want to put coil spacers under the front springs to compensate. Otherwise the windshield will be nearly perpendicular to the road, and it will look stupid as all hell. Trust me on that. I ordered a couple hockey pucks from Rough Country and the Jeep looks great now. Has a modest 1.5-1.75" lift and sits handsomely on the road.I highly recommend these springs. They work great.
