Hey so if I were replacing the worn out leafs with these, what other parts should I go ahead and replace (shackles, bushings) and are there recommendations/considerations as far as the type of bushing?
This takes factory bushings and shackles and it would make sense to replace them if they are showing signs of corrosion. Inspecting U-bolts and the hardware and replacing if needed is also suggested. Thanks for your inquiry.

What is the advantage of polyurethane versus stock rubber leaf spring bushings?
Polyurethane bushings will resist dry rot and cracking longer and can take heavier compression loads. The disadvantage to poly is the squeaking if you do not keep them greased.

I’m not clear by previous answers as they kind of contradict one another. Will these lift my vehicle. I do not want a lift or it will cause the rear to be “jacked up” looking like a ‘70’s muscle car. I’d like my Jeep back to level. I went to the heavy duty because I do carry loads on occasion and standard replacement are not available. So will these add a lift to my vehicle? If so how much? I want my Jeep to look original. I did not have tow package before but have added a hitch.
They are not designed to lift a vehicle (but the unintended consequence of using a heavy duty leaf spring on a vehicle that is not heavier than stock or outfitted with a tow package) will be a small lift, about 3/4" to 1". These springs are designed to sit at stock ride height but support extra weight.

I have no lift on my xj. I need to replace my leaf springs. Will these fit
Yes, they will fit, but they may feel firm compared to original springs if you are not carrying heavy loads, towing a trailer or have a heavier bumper on.

These springs say 50in eye to eye but my 2001 cherokee measures 52in. Will these fit or should I look for othes?
These will fit.

I have a 4.5 inch lift on my jeep I have a broke leaf spring will this work on my jeep or do I have to buy ones for a lift not sure of mine are stock or not new to the whole lift thing jeep came with all that already on it
You would have to identify how the lift is achieved. If it is a suspension lift then you will need new springs. They should be replaced in pairs as there is no guarantee that a single spring would sit the same as an existing spring from another manufacturer.

Do these come with 2 or just one
Leaf spring are sold individually.

Do these springs provide any lift to the jeep
Due to their heavy duty nature, these springs could cause a lighter vehicle to sit higher than stock. unfortunately there is no calculation for how much higher though

What bushings would go with these size wise? I don't want to purchase the wrong ones.
This is a heavy duty version of a stock leaf spring so, For pivot eye bushing, use 18280.07. For shackle end bushing, use 18280.08. If you are going to upgrade to poly bushings then you can get any brand that fit stock leaf springs

The data shows this will fit my model year but states they are 3" inch wide and my stock size is 2.5" wide. So is 3" wide the correct width on this part ?
The 3" that you see is the shipping dimensions rounded up to the next whole number. These are factory width 2.5" springs
