Fits
This front leaf spring is a direct replacement for the original spring on the 1977-1983 Jeep Cherokee, the 1984-1991 Jeep Grand Wagoneer and the 1977-1988 Jeep J10. Owners of other models can look up their year and model in the "Vehicles it fits" section. These vehicles take two springs, one on each side of the front axle.
