Hey guys quick question to prove my brother wrong. My leaf springs are completely straight and look to be starting to bend in the opposite direction. I know that this can't be good for my Jeep and believe I should replace them, but my brother believes that I can leave them like that for an extended period time and it won't matter. I thought an opinion from a someone who knows what they are talking about would prove his stupid self wrong. Any takers?

I have a 95 Cherokee Sport. I have problems with it leaking oil from the rear output of the T-case. I replaced the seal but it still leaked. I then bought a new housing with a new bushing and seal but once again still leaking. It only has a 3inch lift so what could be the problem? Maybe a new slip yoke?? A SYE is out of the budget!

You may want to lower your t-case. I read on here that if u have an auto trany you can get a cross member off of a manual from your local jy to drop it about an inch but someone correct me if I'm wrong. I don't know a whole lot about jeeps but I'm learning. I'm not sure if 3" would pull the yoke out enough to leak though.

Thanx for the info. I got ahold of a rep from Rough Country and he has done 6.5 in lifts on cherokee without installing an SYE. I Know Rubicon Express offers a 5/8 in longer slip yoke. I wonder if that would make up for the difference. It leaks the most when I'm driving but it still leaks when it's parked. I'm really scratching my head on this one.
