Does anyone know if the WJ ('99-'04) Grand Cherokee boomerang and the KJ boomerang share the same dimensions? After doing a little research I know that the bracket that attaches the boomerang to the diff is different.... I didn't know that the WJ used a boomerang until yesterday morning while watching Extreme 4x4.... A Rusty's Offroad 4.5" long travel lift kit was being installed on a WJ... The rear upper link in this kit is super beefy, and it's available separate from the rest of the kit!! If this boomerang/ wishbone/ tri-link/ what-ever you prefer to call it, shares the same dimensions as the one on the KJ's... A bracket to attach it to the rear diff of a KJ shouldn't be too hard... Some steel, a little cuttin' of that steel, a couple of bends, a few welds, four holes... Do I see the possibility of no more rear ball joint problems, and pinion angle adjustment, or am I just having a pipe dream??

Hey Tom, thanks for the reply. How'd I know you'd have a few links around to measure? One of my co-worker friends has a WJ. If I remember; I'm gonna ask if he would care if I measure the upper link on his WJ before I clock in at work today...
I'm aware of the JBA four link, as well as the extension for the stock link. My rear ball joint has developed a clunk, and I could probably just replace it, and get the link extension and solve the problem. Just checkin' out some other possible options...thinkin' outside the "normal" box...
