dodge ram springs make for a 5inch stretch but u gotta mout the shackles on the rear bumper.. also second gen chevy 54" springs equal out about the same but stick out farther then the dodge ones, so mounting them may be a bit easier... i used dodge 1/2 ton rears and remade my rear bumper outa 2x4x1/4 and pushed it all the way in against the rear crossmember stampd steel thing. just food for thought

yea no probelm the dodge springs also seem soft under the cherokee but have no drive time to know for sure, my suggestion is not to cut as high as i did, just go about gas door cap high, mine is about 3inchs below the rear window and was a bit of work to fill it all in but will have plenty of room for tire clearance.
