Nope, the front driveshaft has a slip built into the driveshaft. You'll be fine.

anyone know what wheels these are? can you estimate a backspacing possibly?

I really dont want those tires, they look like crap, but do you think the wheels are worth it?

I asked him if he wanted to trade for my stock 15/7's...well see what he says.

No next Saturday is the search, there's plenty of places around I can look. Depending on condition I may get the gears seperate. Did the 4 cyl. Manual come with chrysler rear ends?

It really just depends on the jeep and whether it has abs or not.

They look like stock aluminum wheels off of a ranger. Can't really tell B.S. but it's probably close to stock cherokee specs.

Default Cherokee hesitates in reverse

My Cherokee hesitates in reverse if I hold the brake and rev to about 1500 it acts like it's gonna die but other than that it drives fine and acts normal. I saw a post in one of the forums on here related to it and I tried those things and it didn't work. Does any onyone have any ideas?

Do you normally hold the brake and rev it to 1500 in reverse? If its only happening when you do that then I don't see what the problem is...

Also how does it act like its going to die? Is it misfiring?

What would cause the brake pedal to drop an inch when I reach a certain speed?
Say trying to stop from 55, pedal will be firm until ~25mph. It will then drop about an inch and get firm again.

the reason why i was holding the pedal is cuz it does it when i back up fast and it does missfire so i held the brake and tried it so i know that it isnt from gas sloshing around or possibly a weak fuel pump i would think but i could be wrong. any ideas would be appreciated
