1060465 I did'nt believe it at first, but then I saw it with my own two eyes... My buddy put a 4" lift on his '95 and did'nt have any driveline vibes! He did put a drop transfer case kit in, but I think that was it for driveline angle issues and it worked! He did put in a drop pitman arm...

1058217 I totally agree. My leaf packs were'nt saggin at all so I just went with add-a-leaves ('99 XJ). The first one was a pain to get the right jacks in the right place to get enough lift and also to line everything up during reassembly. BUT once you've done one side the other side should...

1058219 the Jeep 4x4 Performance Handbook is good readin'. Don't waste money on the Jeep Bible especially if you have a newer jeep.[addsig]

1058220 I've got a little four-banger too.... it just not that little anymore. For performance upgrades to the engine, all I did was take out the venturi in the air duct between the airbox and the throttle-body (took me 5 minutes). I also installed a Borla cat back exhaust system. It's kinda...

1055068 I'm running a four banger in my YJ, and find that my choice of 4.88 gears is the only way to go. For the amount of money you're going to spend, you might as well do it right the first time. 4.56 gears are popular and 4.10 gears have been around for a while so this is what you...

1047107 I believe it's possible to mount the CJ front end to the YJ tub because at one point I rememer seeing it on somebody's rig at rockcrawler.com The only thing is how much was done to make it work? I can't seem to find the guys rig anymore, so I was hoping I'd run into somebody here...

1042275 The daystar shackel lift with 30x9.50's sounds right. That's what they said when I called them. The picture I'm referring to below is of a 1999 sport with the Rubicon Express 2" standard lift which contains a 2" front spacer, 2" rear add-a-leaves and shocks. This guy has 31x10.5 BFG...

1042330 I'm new to this message board, but I've got a lot of experience with my '95 YJ 4-banger. All I can say is, becareful what you buy. The 4 cyl. engine is a decent little engine, but there's not a ton of power cranking out of it. If you decide to buy gears, don't mess around, go right...

1042375 I wondered the same thing about my 1999 cherokee (HO or NOT?) After running the VIN number Through CARFAX I found that the engine was in fact the High Output 4.0 even though it did not have the "high output" badge on it (although it does say 4.0L on the back and is a Sport model)...

1042416 I think we're all assuming you mean the rear driveshaft U-joints? If this is the case, a SYE kit and CV driveshaft is the best solution. As soon as you go over 3" of suspension lift on a Wrangler, you're flirting with disaster if nothing is done to address the driveline issues...

1042683 I ended up ordering a skyjacker 3" kit priced at about $400. I heard some negative reactions in regards to the rusty's lifts from Rockcrawler.com . Apparently there's nothing wrong with the lift pieces you're getting (but keep in mind they are'nt made by Rusty himself, but purchased...

1042684 Watch out for that wiring harness if you swap that engine in. It's different for an XJ than for a TJ! I heard a guy that did it and was successful but ended up saying he wished he had'nt gone that route. Also, the trannies may be different (are they both standards or automatics, both...

1042796 You're definately on the right track with Rubicon Express. For the money, they've got some great kits. We all know there's better stuff out there, but it all comes down to the most bang for your buck. I've got an SOA conversion kit from RE and I'm real happy with it! 2 1/2"...

1043330 I just got done putting a 3" Skyjacker lift on my 99 XJ and have been very pleased so far. I thought about the RE 3.5" lift, but was a little worried about driveline vibes. I guess the last thing I wanted was to have to out in a SYE kit and CV driveshaft, so I went with the Skyjacker...

1043331 I've been in the "wave" business for a while in my 95 YJ. I'm up there pretty high (7.5" of lift and 35's) so most jeepers notice me when I wave (not too many modified rigs in my town). The only thing I have any complaints about is that more times than none I get no responses from the...
