Yes it does, but i would strongly advise you get the kit with the full leaf packs. The Add-a-leafs tend to sag and not ride well. I also recommend you to get an upgraded steering stabilizer.

You likely will not need a SYE kit with your 98 with the 4.5" lift. The kit contains a Transfer Case crossmember drop kit, so you should be fine with just that (no vibes) as long as you set the pinion shim angle right

Thanks. That information helps!

were can i get 4.56 gears for a chrysler 8.25?

dukie564

oh jesus...ok

first of all, based on your questions, I STRONGLY advise you have a professional gear shop change out your gears for you. It is a very precise process, and requires specialized tools (experience helps too). You do NOT want to mess this up.

Secondly, both sets of gears (front AND rear axles) must match, and therefore must be changed at the same time. Additionally the d30's carrier may also need to be swapped out if your jeep has 3.55 gears currently.

Based on you having the v6 with a 5 speed, I assume you already have 4.10 gears....so do you really need to upgrade?

Quadretec as well as many other jeep sites have R&P sets for sale. Do a search.

where can I get a new vacume bottle? The one behind the front bumper that looks like a black two lieter bottle.

Thank you, but it seems like mine is exactly the same. Don't know why its hitting.

Mine was actually missing in my 95 when I got it, so I got one from the JY for 5 bucks, but I saw a link somewhere on this forum that was for a place that sells them for 10 bucks plus shipping. Try looking around some more for a "vacuum reservoir"...

Hmmm must be a christmas jeep over done.

I see what they are saying in the chart but my stock 2000 XJ with auto trans runs about 2200 at 65mph. My question is do I adjust for the difference that the chart is showing me?
I did this my the guess method:
3.733.914.114.274.5629"2191226323492469258830"2126219722802396251231"2065213422152328244032"2008207521542263237233"1954201920952203230834"1902196620402144224735"1854191519882089219036"1807186719382037213537"1763182218911987208338"1721177818461940203339"1681173718031894198640"16431698176218511941

based on not knowing WTF I am doing and what my jeep is running at 65mph.

Does it look right?

Skipper

OK the chart did not come out right.
Does anyone know how to post an excel chart here without it going crazy?

I have horrid grey flares on my PGF green xj, was thinking of taking them off, scrubbing them down with a brillo and painting them with 2 coats of dupilcolor bumper paint, does that sound like a good idea??? would the paint last long??

dukie564

Basically you still want to aim for the green square. The overdrive at highway speeds will send you more toward the yellow (economy), then more toward the red (power) when it down shifts for you to pass someone.

jeepgrlxj

Ehh..temporary solution. The paint would chip eventually..
Replace the flares with an OE replacement or aftermarket, can't go wrong there.

dukie564

heat gun works well for bringing back the black color also
