What did you do to your Cherokee today?

Started up my Cherokee and drove it around the backyard, also tried to find axle tags on both front and rear and had no luck with it.

The RC ones dont fit a shackle inside of them properly. You'll have to trim the shackle narrower or grind down the boxes to make them wider.

Really? I didn't know this was a big issue. Is that with any type of shackle or only the stock ones? I don't have stock shackles

You can jack up a tire and compare the number of driveshaft rotations to the number of tire rotations. That ratio is your gear ratio.

so if I mark a spot on the tire with junkyard paint and do it for 1 driveshaft turn per whatever number of tire turns that's what I would do?
