definitive method regardless of tires/trimming is to measure from the top of the axle tube to the bottom of the framerail - with fuel tank full and no passengers/luggage/tools

Stock front = 6.75"
Stock rear = 6.0"

Hi,
I have a 95 laredo and it seems both my headlights have gone out. I went to Oriely's and picked up some bulbs but when i popped the hood it looked like I need to replace the whole set up... lense and everything. Any comments or suggestions?

Thanks

Most jeeps have sealed headlights. If you want good sealed headlights go with sylvania silverstars. Got mine for 20 per headlights. Pretty sure i got them at autozone good luck. And welcome to the forum

Default Loss of Horse power

Repaired my exhaust pipe this afternoon. Now all is fine pipe is not dragging, but now that the pipe is fixed I have lost allot of the horse power when I drive. Sounds like the engine is over working yet putting out no power.
Thoughts, Idea's?

I have a oil pressure prob. It's a2001, starts up runs at45 psi, but after you drive for ten minutes it drops to 10 psi. And some times it drops completely to 0 psi. Raises a bit when you give a lil throttle tho. Im leaning towards oil pump. Thing is it doesn't knock. Just wondering if anyone is familiar with this before I tear it down. Thanks.

Ya my buddy put a 4.5 aal on his stock packs, after about 3 months the rear started sagging. We measured it, was only 3.5 then

If you hate it stay away from it. Like te above poster said, aal is nothing but trouble. Some ppl get lucky and never have an issue but I'd rather get old xj leafs and build with those than new aal
