Use a steel brush to take the paint off. Use a rag and vice grips so it doesn't rotate.

Hey guys,
I'm looking to purchase a 3-4" lift using RE/OME/JKS parts with 31x10.5 tires
What would you piece together to accomplish this correctly?
Would that recommendation change if I asked you to incorporate the future possibility (2-3+ yrs) of up to ~4.5" to fit 33s?
Thank you for your time

I lifted my XJ 3" with RE leafs, a new IRO DS track bar, and 5 new 33x12.5 Duratracs on 15x10 AWC wheels. Total cost under $1000. It can be done with patience.

new to XJ & CF
I am new to Cherokee forum. I bought a 91 XJ a few months ago (actually driving it for 2 weeks, it needed an engine) & it has a lift kit on it. It needs new shocks & I need info. How do I determine what shocks I need?

I'll give you 5 bucks if you can put it back on with the SYE.
No possible. Assuming yours is 4.0 auto you can take the front shaft off and put it on the rear until you get a new shaft.

Pull the front shaft and put it in the rear. Takes 10 minutes and you can drive it for those 7 days.
The rear shaft no longer works because it now uses a different style shaft all together.
The front shaft on your Jeep is just like the one on it's way to you.

Ok so I have a question about swapping to 4.56 gears in the future( just toying with the idea for when I decide to go with a bigger lift and 35's for my dd) what is involved in the swap... I understand gear ratios and how a rear is designed and I've rebuilt a few ford rears but I've never actually taken apart my 8.25 ... So I kinda just want to know what is involved... I work in a body shop so I have access to mostly everything I will need I beleive... Plus the experience of a bunch of old timers but it's definitely something I would want to do myself( I never let anyone touch my vehicles) thanks in advance guys appreciate any help!
