I was trying to think what cruising RPMs would be on highway with that combination. I don't have the chart handy.

I took my liners out before I got 33s, but I'd say if I had them, they would quickly get ripped out by my tires.

Im trying to decide on how to add 1" of lift to the rear of cherokee. I have two main options.

I want relocation brackets, but which ones? Im thinking the low profile ones because i already have 1.5" shackles. But that may put me too high since i have "3.5" IRO leafs". OR i can do the regular hdoffroad ones and MJ shackles for .5" + .625".

Took mine out with 33s and left it open. Made it really easy to clean.

Actually now that I think of it, No i did not. I had to take all the tools I "thought" id need to do it out if my jeep while the wife borrowed it to go to the store while fix hers. I had bought 2 cans the night before to use but it slipped my mind.

Well, tomorrow I will be taking tires off and thoroughly spraying everything down and do some driving to see if it gets better. Also purchased some brake fluid to bleed them if the other methods dont work

Is the 99 intake mod a bolt in on a 98? Worth the $25 for the manifold?

No - dyno tests have showed almost no difference in performance. If you haven't bored your TB yet do that, better use of your time and money

This. Get some 784 injectors, too, if yours are original.

98 was a split year. I tried to edit my post, but the app sucks.

okay FINE!

1998 Model Year produced 1997 - 1998 <--- JETRONIC, Bosch "Neon" xxx703
1999 Model Year produced 1998 - 1999 <--- USCAR, Bosch "Neon" xxx784

happy? lol :P

I always assume people refer to the year on their VIN and not the actual build date.
