The suspension on that cherokee is almost completely home built, by me , including adjustable long arms, adjustable track bar with dropped frame end mount, 6" drop pitman arm drop ( made one arm out of two , since I have an oven at work for heating and cooling cast to be welded) LONG coils , and some custom spacers, lengthened driveshafts, T case drop , Ram 2500 front flex lines ( they were the longest ones in the book at napa) 6" rear shackles, with some extra leafs in the stock pack from a 1500 chevy ( different arch, gives about 4 more inches)
We are up against a wall right now, the parking brake cables are TIGHT, without even flexing the suspension, and the "frame" is starting to rot out in alot of places , it's only a matter of time until it folds up like a tin can.
It's still got the stock chrysler 8.25 in the back (miller lockered), and stock dana 35 front. Sitting on 34x10.5x15 swamper LTB's. stock 4.0 HO and AW4 trans , NP 231 T case.
Sorry if I got long winded. reading back through this , it;s no wonder my own jeep is sitting in the back corner in the shop with crap piled over/around it , with flat tires , and no floor...

Yup , big ouch, learned how to change ball joints with a hammer and a 22mm wrench that day, we drug it out of the woods without the driver side inner/outer axle ( aka no 4x4) I drug him up the hill backwards until he would get turned around , and then i drug him all the way to paved road , with the cummins ( notice the broken exhaust in the back , damn ruts....

If it cranks and just won't start, my guess would be the crank position sensor. Common problem on older XJs

I don't remember exactly which year, but the YJ parking brake cables will work for what you need. If you want I can find out for you.

I'm in the process of doing tubular flares on mine. I just swapped out the radiator for a 2 core & put a detroit locker in the front axle, rear has a spool.
