If you have more travel than the correct shock can handle it's useless.

I need limit straps on mine... and I have shocks...

What size tires? Ill take a stab at it though. 3"s maybe? I dont know the stock specs for how a grand cherokee sits so that you could measure it.

Id say a nice trade regardless. Way better than a minivan lol

You can but rigs like that have thousands invested for the purpose of crazy flex. Without shocks, brake lines and steering, your gonna snap u joints... Without all that, whats the point?

Not sure. Which line is the inlet for the fuel on the rail on a 90 4.0?

The back one on mine was jacked up by the previous owner and he rigged it up with hose clamps andeverything. Im looking to replace it.

the one directly opposite the pressure regulator is the return line. I believe the back one is the supply (at least on mine)

On 97 up, take both sides of center bezel at the very bottom and pull towards you. The radio is held in with a couple screws.
Not sure about them older ones.
