Hello everybody, new to the forums. Alright, I just got my 1998 Jeep Cherokee classic and I would like to do some mods so I had some questions for you guys. It already has a 5.5 inch rubicon express lift, slip yoke eliminator, and quick disconnect sway bars.
1. Dana 44 front and rear axles. I planned on getting the axles out of an 86 or newer Grand Wagoneer, rebuilding them, and putting a truss on them. Has anybody done this before? Can I reuse the old brackets or do I have to buy a new set? Where should I put the truss on the axles (I'm guessing not the bottom for ground clearance issues)?
2. Cold air intake. I also planning on doing a larger throttle body, I've heard 62mm or 64mm. I've talked to the guy down here in Arizona at all AMC 4x4, Nacho, he owns an MJ and says he put a K&N cold air intake and had clearance issues so he couldn't put a throttle body spacer, so I planned on going for an AirRaid cold air. Am I going to have clearance issues with their brand do you think? Also, can i put a throttle body spacer and a larger throttle body on it, or do I even need to? Do these upgrades really improve horsepower and mileage?
3. Front and rear bumpers. I saw a company that posted on here their winch bumpers, with the stinger bar and prerunner bar, i think 3/16 inch steel, for I think a little under $500, does anybody know which company I'm talking about?
Those are pretty much the things I was wondering about, If you could help me that would be great, thank you.
