I am getting to the point of being able to order some and I've lost my information, so I am asking here.

What year/model Cherokee's had the leaf springs where the centering pin is off-set?

Anyone know exactly how much it's off-set?

I think that all the XJ cherokees had the offset center pin, so from 84+. And i went downstairs and measured for you, the center pin is offset 3 inches(with no weight)

Suggestion: Hope you're not putting the XJ springs in the CJ - the spring rate is too light. Don't ask me how I know that one! :rolleyes:
Sure you're not thinking about the Waggy front springs?

50" from eye to eye, around 52" when on the XJ, free arch of around 7.5" and the 1" tall at the center pin. It uses 4 leafs and they are pretty soft, i'd say in the 130-150 range.
