Once the transmission Chrysler didn't design fell out of warranty, they superceded the part number for the correct, more expensive lubricant with one for the cheap stuff of a different specification that they had on hand. This isn't the only piece of third party equipment they pulled this bull**** with, either: there's an oft-quoted "Ask A Jeep Engineer" session on Jeep Forum where fanboys went ape**** because some guy from Chrysler confirmed that a part number was 10W30. They simply stopped carrying the correct fluid, mysteriously about the length of time a drive train warranty would take to expire on a 1999 Jeep...
Aisin-Warner has never specified any fluids other than Dexron II and Dexron III for the AW4. ATF+4 (compatible with ATF+3, which was available at the time of the AW4's production and NOT recommended by Aisin-Warner) is known to cause slipping in many transmissions.

Well i open this question for everyone cause my brain now hurts from searching many many pages.
Which year Dakota or similar, minus the mj, shackles can i use to give me less than an 1" of lift but also clear the RC relocator brackets.
Wanna get this cleared away so i can measure for rear shocks.
If i can't come across anything ill use your mj ones clown. Just want to bang this **** out and i stall another xj main to finally get a solid rear end ride but not get too much extra lift
