questions about some parts that i want to install
ok guys i want to install some parts for my wifes XJ but i need some feedback from people who ACTUALLY KNOW good information and have some sort of experience on this parts.
thanks for the help guys
1- i want to get this type of shocks but i dont understand the multiple number for them since all of them say they are for the same jeep..
FRONT

REAR

http://www.ebay.com/itm/110925855382...84.m1423.l2649
Rough Country Shock Absorber Strut Assembly Rear White Cherokee 9103
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Rough-Co...5877b5&vxp=mtr
2- which is a good chip/programer for the XJ? any one has one for sale?
3- good or decent intake for it?
4- WHERE OR HOW do i change the fluids in the rear diff?
i look at the rear diff and didnt have any bolts to drain the fluids just a rubber cap on the back that i didnt remove since i didnt have time to check it.
5- same as the above but for the front diff?
6- how many qts does each diff take?
thanks for all the input guys....

Look into a cowl intake.
As for the differentials, you have to take the covers off (takes 10 or so bolts). Then once the fluid drains, put the covers back on with RTV, take out the fill plug and fill it all the way up until fluid starts coming out of the bottom of the hole, then put plug back in. Each diff takes a little more than a quart. So get 2 quarts for each front and rear (4 total)a

Those shocks are different lengths. If you look at the description is says for different amounts of lift.
There isn't a good chip for the 4.0. They're not worth the cash. There are better ways to make more power
Cowl intake is the best but it will be a little noisy inside
Edit: any reason you want those shocks? There are a lot better options out there

As for that intake you posted, it's no good to be honest. It's not exactly a cold air intake since it sucks in air that's pretty close to the manifolds. Spectre makes a good cowl intake.

Do not whatever you do buy a chip. Not worth it at all. Just returned my Superchip Flashpaq 3875 for the cherokees and its a 320 code reader lol.

Why are you opposed to taking off the cover? It's not hard... And it's a good way to inspect everything in there.

Well then yeah just pull out the rubber plug outta the back, suck as much out as you can and then fill it back up.
Your front axle (Dana 30), will have a screw in plug that will be taken out by a 3/8" drive wrench. Same thing, suck it on out, fill 'er on up.

Depends how much you want to spend. A aal from rough country would be about the cheapest, but prolly the cheapest ride as well. Next step up imo is rubicon express with the fullleaf packs.
