Im looking for some front springs out of a JGC with the following mesurements.
They have just under 8.5 coils.
The springs are just over 17" long.
The wire is .54 to .55 inches in diameter
OD of spring is about 5.25", ID is about 4.00".
Sorry about the imperial mesurements i will come back n change to Metric soon.
Apparently they come out of a 1993-1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
I am use sure about the Jeep Cherokee so im hopeing some who owns one can let me know.

Theres some ZJ's wrecking on TM at the moment i believe. The XJ front springs are the same diamter etc as the ZJ, but are 2 to 2.5 inches shorter, so wont be much good to ya.

The ZJ I refer to is what you have asked for (JGC), and i was assuming the "JC/Jeep Cherokee" you refer to is the Jeep Cherokee of the same years, which would be the XJ
So to use your teminology, the JGC (ZJ) front springs are approx 2.5 inches longer than the Jeep Cherokee/JC (XJ) front springs. The overall diameters of the coils are the same on both vehicles.
[edit]
Aannndddddddddd, i think i may still have these out in my shed someplace:
Which i "think" are the ZJ, JGC ones that youre asking about
If they are the right ones, and if i do still have em, sort the freight and theyre yours.
ill see if i can dig em out tonight.

Dug some out, dont think theyre the same ones that are in the previous pic (got a feeling they were donated for someones 2 inch lift
), but here's some dimensions anyway:
Length = 430mm (16.92inches)
Steel Diameter = 15mm (0.59inches)
Outside diameter = 130mm (5.18inches)
Do you have an email address I can send the pic too? Cant be arsed doing the photobucket thing and then posting them to here.
Cheers
