Hey Team, my SX/4 needs new leaf springs, any suggestions on where to buy? are the SX/4 leaf springs unique i.e. will other models fit the SX/4?

Are the shackles and bushings etc. unique to the SX/4?

any other info that might help the swap?

Thank you

I just checked RockAuto. It said that there are ones for SX/4s and ones for all of the rest, but I suspect that might just be a load capacity thing. I believe XJ Cherokee springs have the same dimensions, but I'm not sure if they lift the car or not.

I have purchased from Stengel Bros for one of my cars also.  Quality product

Also check Detroit Eaton, they will customize the springs

Good luck
