Why are you going to go so big? Like I said, my locked 4.5 goes where 8+ open can't.

I'd go 4.5 short arm, or if you're going to go 6+ might as well do long arm because you are going to spend double.

When I picked up my jeep it had 6.5 springs, short arms and DEATH WOBBLE from hell. I went to 4.5 springs, new bushings and now it drives just fine. I would definitly stay away from a short arm lift with that long of springs. Just my opinion....

I have a 4.5 Rubicon short arm lift on 33's locked and I can go most anywhere.

Except up the F%$#ing notch at Holy Cross. This thing owns me.

I second the 3" lift and 1 locker it really does allow the vehicle to do some tricky stuff.

I hope you can help me. I have a 1990 Cherokee 4.0 and want to upgrade to a three core open system. I have everthing I need but one. I have looked up this Leon Rosse in line temp sensor adaptor. But can't find not one. Here's my issue. The new rad doesn't have a spot for the electric fan swich sensor. I don't want to elite to a switch. Has any done made, bought or know where I can get. A adaptor to place directly inline to the radiator hose. Similar to inline hose temp sensor. Let me know. Thanks
