Just picked up an XJ, couple Q's... I hear that its better to just ask all my questions rather than do a search first because everyone just loves to help noobs out, so here goes:
1. What is the best body lift out there?
2. How can I get more hp's out of my 98' V6 4.0?
3. Where can I get a digital clockspring so I don't have to worry about it breaking again? I was late for an appointment the other day.
4. I've read a lot about swapping on TJ and YJ parts, but I also hear about this elusive JY all the time, is that a foreign model or something? Some guy told me to try and find some injectors from one and I haven't been able to find it.
Any help is much appreciated, thanks!

First off, search is is pointless thats what everyone else is for.
1. Look on Jc Whitney for your body lift
2. Ebay... Lot of Chips especially for 96+ OBDII
3. Ignore the XJ clock
4. JY was a one year only jeep not many around... S.O.L on the injectors from that particular model.
BTW... My jeep wont start I did search but I couldnt find any threads like it, hope you dont mind if I piggyback this one.

2. More horsepower can be a chip, CAI, bored TB, better exhaust and/or higher flow furl injectors. Or you can go with a striker or complete engine swap.
3. No idea about your clock.
4. You need to have an idea of what specs you have before you start swapping out parts from other models and vehicles.
