It's an auto. I was thinking 4.56 because I spend a lot of weekends pulling a 2500 lb. trailer up the mountain passes. That and I might go to 32s in the future.

I recently lifted my '01 XJ and bought some new 31s. My stock gears definitely aren't cutting it anymore - can you recommend a good shop in Denver to install some new 4.56s? Thanks!

I should have added that it runs just fine - symptom free.

I was hoping this might just be a loose fuel cap, but it came on again a tank later. The specifics are: Fuel Sys 1 CL Fuel Sys 2 CL Calc LOAD 24.3 ECT (F) 109 STFT B1 (%) 0 LTFT B1 (%) 0.7 STFT B2 (%) -0.7 LTFT B2 (%) 0 MAP (inHg)...

My mistake, my caster is +5.5*, which puts me just slightly under spec. Sorry for the misinformation. I could still probably use shims. Any thoughts about the play in the control arms? Is it normal to be able to twist them slightly?

Think I would be good with only swapping the lowers?

Yeah, I know my castor is off. Could this contribute to my DW? To get back to spec I'd need +10deg change which I imagine can only be solved with adjustable LCAs. Any thoughts?

I recently installed a 3.5" OME lift on my 2001 XJ and I've been fighting death wobble. I've searched a ton on death wobble causes & cures, and my best guess is mine is caused by bad LCA/UCA bushings. I've got a new JKS adjustable track bar, just replaced a tie rod end, new steering...

I'm installing a lift kit on my XJ this weekend. Should I use anti-seize lubricant on every bolt? Any reason why I shouldn't?

Thanks for your thoughts. It just seems strange that there was no leak at all until yesterday's death wobble - then almost all the steering fluid drained in about 10 seconds as I brought the rig to a stop. Based on where the oil was (all over the reservoir top and sides running down), I'd...

I'm not looking for info/cures for Death Wobble - it's been covered in numerous threads & articles. I'm hoping to find info on Death Wobble as a cause for an eruption of steering fluid.

Yesterday I was driving my Dad's XJ at about 45-50 mph when it suddenly got the world's worst death wobble. After coasting to a stop, I saw power steering fluid EVERYWHERE, with no obvious leak (cap still on, small amount of fluid still in reservoir). At the time, I swore I must have...

My main concern is will a 96 skid fit on my 01? I've searched OEM parts sites and 84-96 skids & 97+ skids are a different part number (for example: http://www.jeep4x4center.com/jeep-fuel-system-parts/cherokee-xj.htm). Does anybody know what the differences are?

The skid plate I found on the 96 at the junkyard was steel.

Found a gas tank skid on a 96 XJ at a local junkyard. Will it fit my 2001 XJ?

Sorry, I forget to mention: I've got the 231.

Thanks for your opinions. On second thought, I might just drop my T-case & go with shims - seems like an easier fix for a small lift.

I'm new to the XJ world - I recently acquired a 2001 4.0 auto w/ C8.25's & I'm going to order & install a RE 3.5" super-flex kit (full spring packs). The guys at RE said I'll need either 2 degree shims & a T-case drop kit or 4 degree shims and a SYE kit & CV driveshaft. I'm leaning towards the...

Looking for a RE 3.5" superflex kit for my XJ. Any recommendations on vendors w/ good prices?

So most performance loss with 3.55s & 31s will be felt on the highway and gas pump, not the trail?
