You misunderstand, to convert a 2WD non-Jeep AX-15 you basically need to cannibalize a trashed AX-15.

If I put a 3" lift on my 01' sport, could I run a set of 33/10.5/15's if I crust the fenders? I will keeping the stock wheels with no adapters. So offset. Would I have to go with a taller lift?

I need alittle help. I have a 98 XJ and it currently runs like a*s. It comes up with a p1391 speed control sensor G 1 error, which when I google it, says intermittent loss at CPK or CPS. Went to do a test on the wires that go to the CPK cause they looked funny and I get continuity between the orange (center wire) and one of the end wires (dont remember which.). Can someone that has a meter that has the continuity setting test thiers for me? It would be a great help.

DEATH WOBBLE. Could be a U-Joint. Start researching it.

What's it mean when I'm driving down the road and steam starts coming out of my grille? Then when I stopped there was a big green puddle under my Jeep? What could be wrong? I think it has a V6 in it. Does that make a difference?

First things first: when's the last time your wheels were balanced?

Other causes amount to loose suspension and steering bolts, or worn bushings.

Clogged cat lead to high heat, stuck thermostat caused overflow. Remove both.

First, steam out the grill is a good thing. Makes jeep look cool!

Green puddle means you are giving your jeep to much My Dew.

Since you have a v6, you should remove one head and drive it around, see if it runs better?
