'k. I am looking for about 1" more lift over my current set up after I add about 300# of tubing witht he same flex. Right now I have a stock MJ leaf pack with an XJ main leaf in there and it flexes REALLY good but it doesn't take weight well (soft). I have MANY various leafs at the house including the same leafs you have (S-10, XJ, regular MJ, 1 ton MJ, etc.). I was thinking about removing the two (ridiculous) overloads and putting a bunch of regular leafs with arches. I will eventually post up my findings. Thanks!

How rough is it? Does it plex at all off road? Where in CA are you located? I'd love to check it out.

The beauty of the desert is I have both of mine :D

:huh???:

5-760x are the way to go.

Good luck. Make sure your chassis is ok as well where the hitch attaches.

Did you look at this? http://www.comanchemj.1hwy.com/custom3.html

Wow. That is a lot of work for just 7.5:1

:thumbup: I thought that was weird.

The 231s were the same but the RockTracs are not. JB Conversions makes an adapter to use the electronic plug (RockTrac is a 4 prong and the XJ/MJ is a 3 prong). http://www.jbconversions.com/index2.php?pc=7 The folks I know that have it never addressed the speedometer issue and are going without. I would like to see the one who comes up with a way of making this compatible with the mechanical speedometer. :wavey:

Nope. It is all electronic. The parts are quite different and nicer! I rebuilt a RockTrac and can post up all the images for you if you want. I took them for the TeraFlex website and their 2LO install. I never priced a Klune. One fell into my lap. I spent the $80 on a couple of parts from them to get it going. Doint it again I would probably get an atlas at the price you stated but I didn't pay that much for my Atlas though.

There are deals to be had. The 4:1 rubicon will be tough to get your speedo going.

This is a tough thing to decide. I did my math and low/low is too low (7.4:1) and low/hi (2.72:1) is too high. My AA Atlas with a 3.8:1 was perfect on 37s with 5.13s and an AW4. My buddy tried a 5:1 on an auto and it was WAY too low so I know the 7.4:1 wouldn't work. My buddy with a 5:1 and an AX-15 loves it on 40s and 5.38s. For my MJ, I chose a 4:1 Klune in front of a 231. I now have a three speed TC set up with 2.72:1, 4:1, and 10.88:1 If you were to find a NP205 (2:1) and a 231 (2.72:1) it would be a nice combination of 5.44:1. Good luck.

The XJ didn't get a driver's airbag until the 1995 model year. X2 My 94 has no air bags. The later columns have the newer dual sided key though but I don't know when it started (92/93?)

There should be a tag on the diff cover of your axle with the gear ratio stamped into it.

Looks like it may be the wind shield wiper fluid bottle connector. :dunno:

This has nothing to do with 3 links. Worn out front end parts will cause DW and quirky handling regardless of whether it is 3 link, radius arms, 4 link, etc. FWIW I will not run anything on my rigs other than 3 links in the front. The road/off road handling is amazing and it is simple and light weight. Keep in mind, I don't run a Dana 30 (they have crappy ball joints) and I build all my suspension myself. The only off the shelf kit I would actually consider out of all the kits posted would be the Rock Krawler. ;)

A real proportioning valve and remove the OE MJ sensor.

150 psi usually. Compression spec for the 2.5L 4-cyl is 155 to 185 psi. Compression spec for the 4.0L 6-cyl is 120 to 150 psi Both allow up to 30 psi variation between cylinders. Thanks All mine were 145-150 except #6 and it was 125.

Not too bad. Put a used head that was worked over with a valve job. Took only a couple of hours. Runs fine now. :cheers:

Mine checked out under compression test but I had a crack on #1 & #6. are you saying the compression was good even though your Head Gasket was cracked?? that's the way i'm reading it...... Compression was good but my head was cracked.

150 psi usually.

Use the volt guage with a grain of salt ;) They have been known to lie on more than one occasion.

backlift? :dunno:
