I've had my 1994 XJ 4 door for just over two years now. Traded my 5.0 Mustang money pit for it. 5" lift, 35x12.50x15 wheels and tires, automatic transmission. Its Been an awesome camping vehicle and dog/people mover.

But, inevitably I need more!! The Jeep is my shooting trip, camping, and cargo mover but I want it to handle snow, mud, and trails also.

Working on fixing the vibration that requires me not exceeding 58 mph, but I also want to upgrade my gearing, axels, and lockers.

How do I identify what the stock components are, and what are the recommended upgrades for driving quality and reliability? I'm pretty knew to the ins and outs of the 4x4 world as I have been mostly working on 2wd/FF projects.

ill try to figure out posting pics at some point also.

It does. I had tried and extended driveshaft right after I bought it, and when that didn't fix the problem, I went to a SYE. Still have the vibration from 60-70 mph.

A co-worker measured the angles from transfer case to driveline, and rear diff to driveline and said I was off by just over 6 degrees. I have some 4 degree shims on order from Iron Rock Offroad. Hoping that fixes it. And I want to get my alignment checked and tires rebalanced.

Yeah that was the next thing I was gonna say, about the shims.

I didn't need the shims on my jeep cause I relocated the shackles little lower and that caused the axle to rotate slightly.
