Did you have to remove the threaded stud the filter slides over?
I did the one side, now my jerry rigged exhaust is slapping the body. From the cross member back it's mounting brackets got fubar'd when I have a little shop weld a new muffler on.

First off, what's wrong with yours? If it's just oil soaked from leaking oil filter adapter seals, you can disassemble it and clean it up with brake cleaner.

'96 Cherokee rear suspension question
I'm helping my son replace shocks on his '96 Cherokee Sport 4wd, 4.0L. We ordered a 2" kit from Fat Bob's to gain a little more clearance for his tires, a kit listed to fit '84-'01 Cherokee's. Based on the instructions the kit looks like it is for a XJ with coil springs. Our Cherokee has leaf springs and coil over shocks. Where did I go wrong if the kits are for '84-'01?

my jeep doesnt leave the tarmac. and petrol is more like 10 bucks a gallon in nzd, we get charged by the litre. and its getting converted to liqufied petrolium gas or straight propane (yes bbq fuel) to usa folks. my buddy has his running on propane and it starts and runs fine. it is a dry fuel so i may look at petrol / propane mix havent decided yet
