O ok. I got it lol. Another question? Besides the shocks and the brake lines in the front why can't I dropped my front end down further? When I lift the front up itself it only drops about 2 to 2 half inches. What is holding me back?

Brake lines and shocks are the physical stops you will hit. But control arms should really be longer when you get to 4.5+ the increased angle essentially shortens them.

Control arm bushings are preloaded and worn in to a set height. You'll have to put some muscle into it

(EDIT: It was extremely difficult for me to get the hose on, no doubt.)

I'm putting a 95 brake master cylinder in my 92. I already have the master cylinder and booster. Do I use the 95 proportioning valve or will my 92 valve work? It sounds like a direct swap otherwise, am I right?

I know this going to be a stupid question but what other shocks can I use a different vehicle on a 95 Cherokee there has to be something cheaper than what the parts houses are asking for mine regular stock shocks are $80 for ones that are for a 3 to 6 inch. Lift are $200 plus a pice
