I went out looking for some ZJ springs to get me an inch or so of lift. I was under the impression I needed a 1994-1998 Grand Cherokee V8 set of springs. I thought the V8's had a higher spring weight? Every yard I went to insisted the 4.0 engine has the same springs. I finally found some for $75 but decided to hold off and verify I am getting the right thing.

I put this in the wrong section can someone move it for me please. I took my jeep (2000,4.0l) into the shop to have the blower motor changed and when I got it back today, the battery was almost dead. I got a jump and drove home every time I would come to a stop it would idle way down like 500 rpm and act like it was going to die. I came home googled it up and decided to clean the IAC. I ...

Will be doing the swap this weekend with Cal's help.

I have been searching all over the net and also naxja site. I am looking for a thread or page I had seen about making a front receiver that hides behind the license plate. If some one has seen it could you post a link. Thanks

Just got that 8.8 I had asked about a couple of days ago. (thanks for the responses, The info was helpful). Just striped it down to find it has a 3.27 ratio and no trac-loc even though it was in the XLT model witch should have guaranteed trac loc and at least a 3.73. I guess it is not that big of a deal because I was going to regear my D30 to match the lower ratio, now I will just regear...

Was just driveing along minding my own business this colorful fall season and the ole DD hit one or more of our wonderful local hard pot holes and later at home and in the driveway I noticed quite a large pooling of gasoline under the XJ -So here I'm in the market again after the second used pick + pull gas tank rusted out yesterday and was wondering where others here on the board have ...

I have searched and I guess I haven't hit on the correct "searchwords" yet. Those of you that have made the 3" lift bastard pack (regardless from where your leafs come from....S10...Dakota or whatever) using the XJ main ....what did your shackle angle come out like? Was it OK ...or will it require some retro-work also?

I need some suggestions on how to extend the bump stop / bump stop housing on a 92. The issue I'm having is that I am installing an Airlift 80702 bag as well as a 2" Teraflex coil spacer. I need the air bag to support the weight of a snow plow. The issue becomes that the air bag is now 2" too short to do anything. It's designed to be installed in place of the rubber bump stop. You ...

Ok so i was going to flip my rear leafs springs around to stretch my wheelbase. My bushings are still like new and i doubt they will come out easy so since i am doing an axle swap anyways i was thinking of moving the springs under the unirails and attaching the shackle to the bumper. I know this will help the flex and thats why i am thinking of doing it. The front currently does all the work. ...

Okay guys, i finally started my stage 2 build of my xj. Lift of my xj as of recent consisted of a 4.5" RE super flex lift, it had a worn Heim on the RE track bar and a worn bushing on that as well, also hte control arms lower super flex joints were bad, one extremely loose, the other way too tight. The steering was out of whack and i wanted more lift anyway. Also my dana 30Hp was junk,...

Wow... Does this seem too good to be true to anyone else??? Oh well, I already ordered mine

It appears he used all hardware store low grade fastners, right down to the star washer. Kinda fits with the chrome turn down right after the cat. Hardware grade hardware, especially "all thread" has the hardness of a wet noodle and as easy to break in either shear or pull. I recomend upgrading the hardware for dependability, all the way up to grade 8, then torquing to a figure appropriate ...

i like pizza!

I always thought the 2.0's were more like a bilstien 7100 or better? I mean, they are intended to be coilovers .. right?

Some of you have probably seen this but Currie now offers a XJ/MJ bolt on anti-rock kit. I acquired one the other day and threw it on last night. Driving with it on felt nearly the same as having my sway bars connected, and I look forward to not having to disco my swaybars anymore. Anyways heres a picture I snapped earlier. The install is fairly easy, drill a hole on each side, slide the nut ...
