Looks like it will be 15x7" with 4" of back spacing. Thanks for the input guys.

How much lift are you guys running?

I have a 99 XJ with 3.5RE lift. I currently have 31x10.5 15 tires on stock rims. I run 26psi for everyday use, and 10-12psi when on the trail, and my tires wear very well. My tires dont have much life left, and I am now shopping around for new tires and wheels. I am going to get 33x10.5 15...

That's what I am learning, I really should have just stayed in 4lo. There really was no sense picking and choosing. Definately next time I will put it in low, and stay that way to the end. Thanks guys.

Was doing the 5mph thing but was not in neutral. I would be going 5mph and do the shift from 4hi to 4lo, and same to come back to 4hi. Did not realize I had to have the transmission in neutral. Hope I didn't jack anything up.

I did try going in reverse too. It went in and out of 4lo everytime, it just got progressively harder. It is in 2wd now. Just never having used 4lo before, I didn't know what to expect, or how it would feel, or anything about it really.

I have a 99 XJ, 4.0, auto, NP231. I have taken this jeep on some expeditions, handles great on trails and mud, never any problems, but have never required the use of 4lo. Today I went wheeling with a buddy, we did some very steep hills, rocks, and very uneven terrain. Initially it went into...

Now the rest of the story. The initial transmission shop, that told me I would ruin my transmission, has never called me back. Transmission shop #2 wants $1000 for labor, I supply all the parts. Transmission shop #3 has not called me back. Does anybody know of a good trustworthy transmission...

Thanks for the input. I appreciate the responses. I had a funny feeling this guy was full of it.

I have a 99XJ 4.0, AW4, 3.5" RE lift, 31x10.5, with stock 3.55 gears. My rig does great with factory gearing, except on hills, it is a dog. I am wanting to regear this summer and possibly go with 33" tires. I talked to a local transmission shop, and told them what differentials I had and that i...
