This is what I have on my cheat sheet which I got from somewhere here on the forum:
The track bar bolt is: M10x1.5x75mm
LCA bolts are: M14x2.0mmx120mm
UCA bolts are: M10x1.5x110mm
Cross Member bolts are: 3/8"-24 (I think)

However, I think the LCAs might be better off at 110mm also.
Any help from others?

Im going to cut out my muffler and catalytic converter and weld new ones in. I want to sleeve weld them in since its stronger than butt welding. Should I flare the exhaust pipe to fit over the muffler/cat inlet/outlet, or flare the muffler/cat to slide over the exhaust pipe?

Found this.

1998 Cherokee Classic, Thanks to all on OEM fog lights and switch (Its Alive!)

Now how about the Emergency/ Parking Brake light. (it's on all the time)
Brakes / Emergency Brake / Fluid / no air in lines/ All functioning okay.
So do I have to remove part of the center console to get access to and play with the switch?
