Got a question, I noticed the input shafts between my original transmission and the one I bought are different sizes. Can I swap them out or can I turn down the larger one in a lathe? Mine is a 90 ax15 internal clutch slave cylinder versus the one I bought a 97 ax15 external clutch slave cylinder if that helps.

Honestly I don't think those look that bad. The rust is just surface, not structural. Anyone who lives in the north is used to stuff like that. They look to me like upcountry springs or just HD replacements. The ends on each leaf look the same and they are all evenly spaced, making me think it does not have an AAL lift, which is good. I personally have HD replacement rear springs on my Cherokee and I have 1.75" polyurethane spacers in the front to level things out. Since your flares are still there, measure from the center of the wheel to the bottom of he flare in the rear. I believe 17.5" is stock. Anything more than that is how much lift you have in the rear. Get front spacers with the appropriate amount of lift, as long as it's less than line 2".

Any recommendations on tire pressure. 33x10.50 KM2s on a 15x7 wheel. Going to Rausch at the end of the month and never wheeled with these tires. 12PSI? Not sure with the skinnier profile, I'm used to 14psi with the 31s I had.

I'd do 10-12psi, but I know people who would run as little as 6 with that setup.

other than using brake cleaner to make everything shine, what should I do to clean my brakes properly? I'll grease the caliper pins, clean the drums & rotors aswell as adjust my rear shoes, but I'm wondering if there's other maintenance I should do or that I'm forgetting about.

Evap
I have a 2000 Cherokee with a evap problem I've been trying to chase down for a while I've changed the gas cap and some hoses had a smoke test done and the shop said evening was ok up to the purge valve but I've replaced that awhile ago thay said that thay could not test the return side of the line so I tested the purge valve with my battery and it is still working then I tested the plug for The purge valve and it had voltage on both sides positive and negative on the positive side it was 11.4 volts and on the negative side it was 4.2 volts wen I tested it I had the multimeter grounded on the negative battery terminal I don't know if that is normal if anyone can help it would be much appreciated

I miss mine... but then again, they were leather. The cloth ones were definitely "meh."
Have you tried just taking them out and cleaning them? Sounds like they're not closing all the way 'cause they have crud built up in them.
Grab yourself a 9 or 12 volt drill battery and rig the leads up with an intermittent switch, then get a plastic syringe and fill it with some brake parts cleaner.
Push the plunger in and put power to the injector leads... you'll know you've got 'em clean when they go from a stream to a mist.
