Hi there,

You will have to get the spring heights check, you may have a collapsed spring.

If it is the rear that is bottoming out it could easily be the rear springs. Cherokees came from the factory undersprung. Both Cherokees I have owned I have added a leaf to the springs to lift up the saggy rear end. An easy fix and it gets the ride height back to normal and adds extra carrying capacity.
