I'd have to look into the JK springs to know anything on them, though I don't think 4-door JK springs would be too much different than Cherokee springs.
ZJ springs might be another option to look at too.

I got a hair over 5" lift out of my Skyjacker 6" XJ springs. Might work if you're using 4" brackets (could always cut half of a winding off too if needed. Shouldn't stiffen it up noticeably).

From some of my other Jeep buddies, the JK springs can be a bit stiffer than XJ springs. But, I THINK (I could be wrong), the ends are differently sized than could be used for XJs.

Yes it will, all RBV D-35s are the same (except for gearing).
Not quite.

OP:
Watch out for the Hybrid D35. You DONT want one of these. It will have smooth pumpkin, rather than a ribbed one. If you find a D35 with a smooth pumpkin, steer clear. :icon_thumby: (they only came in Rangers)

If you find a D35 from an Explorer, you're safe.

i hate a thief.. someone stole the front lock out hubs off my d35, and it had the aftermarket warn hubs on it. they probably are selling them as aluminum as i type this out. now i gotta come up with money to replace those.. :pissedoff:
