I had to do a small trim on my 4.5" with 32's. I can't imagine 35's w/out major trim and even then. Good luck post pics.

2000 Jeep Cherokee sport,
Problem: Blown Headgasket.
Leaking antifreeze/oil mix along horizontal bottom of head . Currently Visible on right side, (opposite Manifold side).
Question 1: Wondering if I should go ahead and purchase new/remanufactured head before I dismantle.
Question 2: Is there an improved product out there for the 0331 head?
Question 3: While I am researching site for stickies, etc.. Any suggestions?
Question 4:Any parts I need to replace besides gaskets?
5: should I replace bearings? read somewhere that theses shuld be replaced if replacing head.
Thanks, and Happy Holidays

KTMracer ran 35s without lifting, and I also plan to. It's a matter of trimming, backspacing, and bumpstopping.

Hey guys, while driving if I let off the gas I hear an uneasy grinding that sounds like it is coming from the rear. I'm thinking it is my differential? It is only there for a second or two than fades away. What else should I check besides the differential?
