Some one help please what do i need to do to put the Cherokee leafs in the eagle my bird is grounded

[Smitch]

I can't seem to find the post where someone's done that. Does anyone remember?
I think you need different bushings and maybe drill the hole out or some such.
Sorry, I know I'm not much help but it might jog someone's memory.

That's what I remember smitch. I think its buried in a project thread. Cannot remember whose. I looked guessed wrong

I know I had seen it somewhere on here it was a 4 door sedan not wagon...... I gotta get this done ASAP. I could order new ones online but I really can't wait

[mudkicker715]

4dr sedan and wagon are the same animal

I think it's gone. We seem to be losing posts lately. The admins are looking into it but I'm not sure they're having any luck.
I thought maybe jim or tougeagle but searches reveal nothing. Sorry.
There's nothing in the Eaglepedia that I can find either.

Ya know something tells me it may have been Reaper_of_Souls But don't hold me to it. I can't remember but I know I saw it here.

[Smitch]

I checked Eagleneer360, too, but no luck.

Could it be the 'cleaning of the site' that's doing it? 

This is why I've started to save anything and everything I can.  It either gets buried, or lost forever.

Once someone posts a really good write-up or posts info, we should be saving it asap.  We really need to preserve this info.

jim is as lost as everyone else about the missing posts.

Well Things like that that are written by members (who may not be around anymore) should be put into the eaglepedia immediately. Now I'm going to have to order the springs new online instead of choosing from the abundance Cherokee's in my local yard. Something that would have cost me 50 bucks in a bone yard is now going to cost me $300.00 Well no sense crying over spilled milk........Just gonna have to suck it up and pay the piper LOL thanks everyone for getting on the case I really appreciate the help and if we do find it somewhere PLEASE SEND ME THE LINK just in case for future reference

Tougeagle does have altered leaf springs on his Eagle...I just saw them last week when we swapped out the rear end...Im not sure what they are off of though.

i'm going to be putting some 88 cherokee springs on eagle eyes and if i remember right you use the stock jeep bolts and bushings and drill out the holes in the eagle shackles to fit the bigger bolts thru.

well when ya do that can ya take a few pics and maybe do a small write up in the eaglepedia so it won't get "Lost"? I am S.O.L. on the 85 considering I ordered mine already but down the road it might be useful.

You could always get the Jeep springs, compare them to the Eagle springs and do what modifications are needed.
