neon injectors increasing gas mileage. The injectors themselves did not increase your mpg's. You saw an increase because you stared using CLEAN injectors. Pull the factories, clean them out, and put them back in you'll see an increase in mpg's to some degree. Neon injectors do 2 things and 2 things only -
1. due to better fuel atomization they give you a smoother idle
2. due to a slightly higher flow rating you get better throttle response

But you have to also realize that 90% of the xj's out there have already shot rear leafs, so 90% of the time adding AAL to rear leafs will be bad. In my book the only way AAL is worth it is if the rear packs are brand new, or have been replaced in the past few years, which 90% of the xj's out there are not.

I have seen for myself 3 different cars using a fram oil filter have no oil pressure at start up and didn't have any tell after 2 mins avg.Will it kill your engine not on the spot but it will shorten its life span.

I had little to no issue drilling and tapping my rear shock bolts, I broke 3 of 4.
okay I'm tired of this rumor.
Front swaybar, without it your jeep can only go straight, if you even think of a corner you will roll twohundred and fifty four times.
False, You don't need it unless you are unable to drive a lifted vehicle properly, and space yourself from other traffic properly and legally. The brakes are alot worse than the steering, so you should count on being able to slow down enough so you don't have to swerve at 70
thats another rumor, jeeps going 70 lol. Maybe little guys.

And I've seen 4.0's run Frams for 350k miles with no issues... Damn thing threw a rod that had been knocking for 4 months. Must have been the FRAM.
