So is my 1990 fine, or does it have the different shaft/bearing?

Do a search for "death wobble". Read lots, think about your build, and then come back with questions. The guys here will help you figure things out.

Shaw-WEET! Thanks dude. :)

If I wanted to mock up an engine swap to an AX-15, do I need one from a Comanche, or is there any difference in input shafts and stuff for one from a Cherokee or YJ? Thanks.

Very minimal improvements compared to other mods....like and engine swap. :D

Good point, Genovast. :chillin: It's LOOKS completely bone stock, so hopefully they are the 4.10's.

Okay, but it'd have the 4.10's for sure, right? They're really what I'm after, but if it had 4.56's, that'd be even better.

Saw the same thing on Wikipedia, but I wanted to make sure it was correct. Nothing worse that purchasing a parts rig with the wrong parts.

Can someone confirm for me (I think this is correct), that a 1988 Cherokee with the 2.5l 4 cylinder auto with a tow package should have a rear Dana 44 and 4.56 gearing?

Hoping to go with 32 or 33's. Oh, and street time, but probably not much highway.

Got another question for you guys....I'd like to find an XJ with 4.10 axles for it. Any disadvantage to putting in 4.56 axles?

That makes sense. I might grab it anyway, for future trades. lol

Yes, I have the bolt in kit already, and I was thinking of looking at the SOA kit to see if grinding to fit a 44 would be do-able. Figured bolt-in then probably welded anyway (I know enough guys that I could get someone to do it for me). Setting up gears is a black art to me....kinda like brakes...you wanna know what you're doing for sure. :yes: I know I'll need uppers...just haven't come across them yet. Thanks for the tip on sizing them. The rears came with the SOA kit, and I'll check the fronts. :) So why is a transfer case drop on an MJ a waste of time and money? Wouldn't it help to keep the driveline angles corrected?

Every opinion counts....otherwise, we'd never figure out who the idiots are. :D But for $20....probably worth it in my opinion. Yup, I see your point. BUT I'm in Canada, there's fewer of us up here and fewer rigs around...we kinda take what we can get, or pay through the nose to ship them here. Rear control arms for the bolt on kit. Again, availability, and how are they a pain? I'm not looking for a cheap way out, but I've been around enough to know that sometimes for people there is only ONE right way. Thanks for the advice, and like I said, every opinion counts - discard nothing. So all in all....worth it, eh?

Okay, another shopping update. In order to keep you from reading backwards, I have this so far: sway bar drop brackets Rocky Road tubular gusseted lower control arms, greasable urethane bushings for 3-6" inch lifts. Rough Country adjustable track bar Rough Country or Rocky Road (can't remember) bolt- on SPOA kit I have an opportunity to pick up this: 1. t-case drop brackets(no bolts)-$20 Off my XJ....no vibrations with 6" lift 2.brand spankin new Rubicon Express 4.5" coils. (powdercoated silver) with 225lbs sring rate. I paid $230new your price of $185 3.Lower control arms from Rusty's Offroad. 1.5 years old. Bushings in great shape. Beefy dom tubing . $90 4. 2" spacers from Daystar. $20 5. 4.5"-6" Rough country shocks or Rusty's front shocks(your choice) -$50 Disclaimer: please remember with pricing, that shipping things in from the States is a huge hassle up here, brokerage charges, shipping charges, etc. etc. And it's usually either that, or pay someone to fab it all. Look like a good deal? Anything I need?

Finally checked the mail and got mine - thanks Pete!

Okay, I did look....but would YJ axles from a 2.5l work? Or is it a huge pain to swap them in?

Got mine for 12 beer, no dent. :)

A Chrysler 5.7 Hemi only weighs 475lbs. I'm still looking for info on the weight of a 2.5l.

If your sister is a good woman, and it sounds like she is - get it over with quick, and she can get on with her life and start looking for a caring father for her two children if she so chooses. Not all the guys out there are scared off by the prospect of having a "package deal" as we say back home. In fact, sometimes that attracts the right kind of guy better. :) Good luck to her. :cheers:

We have a place up here in Canada called Princess Auto....it's an auto/farm supply store. Complete hydraulics hoses and fittings, trailer axles, winches, tools, air tools, and you never know what kind of stuff you will run into in the surplus section, like so: Some of the stuff is junk, but it is getting better. As for Chinese quality, being a string instrument teacher, in the 80's the quality was crappy, but not all of it. Now, the best student model double bass you can get is a Christopher bass from the Far Orient. They're working on it... :D

Sweet! Done. :)

Is it a problem to ship a few up to Canada? I could take some and distribute them to some of the jeep clubs in the province.

So can someone confirm....no corners out there at all?
