its only a "cold air" if you can separate the incoming air from the hot engine bay air. otherwise there really isn't much improvement over stock.

 

re-gearing is the best bang for your buck if you're looking for some performance gains. :thumbsup: especially if you're running bigger tires.

the stock intake and exhaust (except for the muffler) on our trucks is actually fairly decent. :yes: I would do them after gears.

 

I run 4.10s because that's the lowest factory ratio I could get in the ford 1/2 ton axles. they are ok, but I'd like 4.88s. engine and trans matter too when considering ratios and I have the 4.0/stick.

For the XJ's and MJ's up to 1990 I have not seen anything store bought so you would have to make your own but it has been years since I looked...

Yes it is only Cold air intake if you can actually Get cold air, But an open element filter is Way better then a stock boxed in Filter...

 

Here is a good Gear Calculator that I use often...

just found 4.88's on rusty's for $169 a set which is cheaper than i would have expected , but i didnt plan on putting money into the stock front and rear . I think i bent my front end already because now i have some binding spots in my steering and my tires look a little toed out :ack:

in case you didn't know, changing gears is more involved than just buying the parts and bolting them in. besides, with 35s, you should probably look into a more substantial upgrade in the axle department.

 

what gears are you running now? what trans?
