Too much shoulder damage to drive stick, and the auto is so much easier to wheel

Ah ok. Well, I understand that. It is a lot of work on the joints.

"But" what? Broken is a pretty normal state for Chrysler automatic transmissions. Chrysler isn't the only one making them ya know

It's a TF. The only thing Chrysler did is add an electric lockup converter

Chrysler has been making them since 1956.

I had a moment of stupidity. But still, you can't deny the TF727's pedigree. And the A904/999/32RH family has a good reputation.

Question about fitment?
My current build is a 2000 XJ lifted 4.5" on 33/12.5/15's with very little trimming. After more trimming and installing the bushwacker flat fender flares, would I be able to clear 35/12.5/15s? (Also plan on going with 1.5" coil spacers for the front suspension)

32RH - that's what's in the ZJ, right?

Sure... you could also clear them with no trimming and more bumpstop. Either way though, make sure you properly bumpstop it or I can assure you, you can get 31s to rub on a 4.5" lift with all that trimming.

42RE

32RH was '91ish-03ish in the YJ and TJ.
It was also used in a couple other vehicles, but with a different bellhousing

1998 xj long arm
I just got a 1998 2 Door 5 spd cherokee and it has a 3 inch rough country lift and 30 inch tires, I am looking to buy the 6.5 inch rough country long arm kit. I read that I have ti go with a longer drive shaft, sye, and longer brake lines. I also want to go with 33 inch tires. I guess I am just looking for a parts list so I can figure out about how much everything will cost. Thanks for the help

At least twice as much as what you think that lift will cost.

personally wouldn't go with rough country lift. Their long arm crossmember robs an inch of ground clearance over the stock crossmember, they have short leaf springs, many people have received items welded crooked, and I believe they're a sorry company that makes money off of people who just want the looks of a lifted vehicle that doesn't really go offroad. If you actually want to use your jeep I don't really suggest their lift kits.

What NKoC said, plus with a 6.5" lift the 33s will look small and will easily fit 35s. If you see yourself getting even bigger tires then you'll have to look into gears, brakes, and possibly better axles.

Xj lift
What would you guys all recommend then? I want to go with 33 inch tires without cutting my fenders and am looking to spend around 2000 to 2500 without tires, also keep in mind this is a daily driver that I'm looking to have a little fun with on the trails.
