Behind the spare tire. Comes out through a grommet which can be viewed from underneath the vehicle. Sure your hitch is factory?

Low pressure gives you a wider footprint. Also helps with less puncturing.

I know this is a lift question but ODGREEN hasn't answered it on the other thread yet . Okay does anyone have input on trailmaster suspension lifts, I found the add in my Petersen's 4Wheel and Off-Road ad was wondering if they were any good for the price? and if anyone has one do they have a few pictures?

If you don't have bead lock wheels, then I wouldn't go much lower than 13-15 psi so you don't unseat a bead. In the sand you can go a bit lower (10-12 psi) but in rocks, I wouldn't go too low.

I run 10-12 in rocks. No locks. 33x12.5 on 15x8. Cherokee's are light.

I guess it also depends on what tire you are running, I wouldn't trust the weak sidewalls on some of those cheap tires.

What size tire do you run? Think about like this. How many square inches do you think are between the wheel and the tire? 20psi in a 33 would be somewhat similar to 30psi in a 31. 20 psi, 3000lb vehicle, same size tire on my f150 I ran it at 32psi street. 2000lbs plus heavier.

I know the hitch is a factory hitch, or at least looks like the factory hitches. It's got the spot for a 7pin connection just like my old 88' and the XJ's at the JY.

I think that is what most kits show on their specs. Don't forget bumpstops.
