Are you sure the replacement bulb is correct, and/or oriented correctly in the socket? Even the correct bulb won't work if it's installed 180 degrees off in the socket. It won't allow the dash light indicator to illuminate either when this happens.

If I were to put shocks meant for 1-3" of lift on my stock height, would I really harm anything, other than ride quality? Is this even possible? My shocks are just trashed.. in process of collecting lift components, so I don't want to buy stock shocks now, then lift shocks in a couple months..
Any advice?

Those would bottom out on bumps, and when wheeling, which could damage them in time. If using those install bumpstops to prevent this. JMO

If you live somewhere warm, sure. Otherwise that's a really heavy grade that does not like the cold.

Is it true putting on 33's lifts it another like 1.5 inches? I have a 3 inch lift already sitting on 31's. So the shocks that came with my lift wouldn't work or what lol.

Larger tires lift the whole vehicle not just the suspension. Meaning your axles will go higher. Lifting suspension you'll need larger shocks.

What other difference between circle track d-Window wheels and just regular d-Window such as cragars. They say that they are dot approved for vehicles that require circle track wheels.

I have a 1988 Jeep Cherokee. Has 2 problems. Difficult to re-start when hot outside. Turn the key and get nothing. Will re-start after several minutes. Second. Sometimes will not re-start, but if I let it roll several feet, stop, put in park, it will then start right up. First problem: possibly wiring? My battery cables are shot. Second problem: could it be the starter has a dead spot? Thank you for the help
