Default Few Questions.

I done research, but haven't found much of a answer.

Question 1. When I turn my turn signal -> it works like its supposed to but when I turn it to the <- It just come on but doesn't blink?

Question 2. Windshield wipers on work on one speed? Im glad they do work but not at just that speed.

Question 3. Im ordering Rough Country 6.5 Short Arm and was wondering. I know rough country 6.5 lift is 4.5 leafs combined with shackles. Would it be better to have full 6.5 leafs or 4.5 + shackles?

Final Question. I have a 93 4.0 5 Speed XJ and haven't decided on right gears yet. I wanna run 33's and maybe 35's if I luck up to get some. Being that the stock gearing is 3.05 what would you say the best gearing would be? 4.56 or 4.88? I keep getting mixed review and this Jeep will be a weekend cruiser and slight offroad. Nothing to crazy.

Thanks

You should post questions 1 and 2 in separate OEM Tech threads.

Questions 3 and 4 should be posted in separate Cherokee Chat threads.


Not trying to be a dick, just giving advice so we can better answer your questions more easily.

Answer to 3:
Shackles plus leafs are best. You do know its going to ride like a dump truck on short arms...right?

Question 4:
Id say 4.56 since you have a manual (if you go with 35s) otherwise your RPMS may be a bit high.

Control arm drop brackets work well for that...

3: springs and shackles are fine. I would look into different companies for the lift though, I haven't been impressed with RC (my MJ has an RC lift), and I wouldn't go that high on short arms.

4: 4.56 will probably be fine for you.

Only reason I thought full leaf 6.5 packs because if I decide yo go higher I can just add shackles down the road and for my price and budget what I'm gonna go with
