Bogged down little power to wheels
Ok its a XJ 2000 4.0L auto
6.5" lift sye 33s
When you hit the pedal to the floor the engine rpms go up like normal but the jeep barely moves thought brakes were locked or something went down the block moved max 15-20 mph. Went up a hill bogged down completely stopped put it in 4 High nothing put it in 1&2 gear finally went up the hill just barely. Hear a pop and scraping sound from the front but that could be something else.
Is it transmission?
Transfer case?
Differential?

I had similar running issues like you described when my catalytic converter went bad, one of the filter blocks inside came loose and was choking it out.
