So here's the weird thing: I bought MetalCloak TJ bump stops to install in my XJ and they didn't fit. As in, they were about 1/2" larger in diameter and wouldn't press in. I emailed MetalCloak and they said XJ and TJ bumpstops are different. I'm confused.

Do XJ's and TJ's use the same front bump stops? Energy Suspension lists the same part number for TJ's and XJ's, but other manufacturers list different part numbers. I spoke to two vendors: one said they're the same, one said they're different. Who's right?

Did you ever confirm that this is the correct part number? I need a new sector shaft bearing for mine.

I’m getting a very deep rumble at low speeds (low speed, not RPM) that sounds like a really mean subwoofer blew out. All new wheel bearings, newish motor mounts, no front driveshaft. Sound goes away after about 5mph and is independent of RPM. 4.0 5spd manual 4wd 1996. Any ideas what it might be?

Thanks! Just ordered a kit.

Does anyone know what size line and fittings I need to run braided fuel line from the quick clip by the control arm to the fuel rail on a 96 4.0 XJ? I’m running into clearance issues with my long arms and intake manifold and would like to just install something bombproof so I don’t have to worry...

Way ahead of you. I ground a Barnes waggy/XJ truss to fit a HP f250 D44. I have some generic tracbar brackets coming Monday. I picked up some 1.5” DOM and Johnny Joints at a local fab shop. Planning to swap the rear Saturday morning and start on the front that afternoon.

I’m reading that the stock 1” master cylinder will work but the Durango mc This s better? I might run it stock for a while to see how it is. I like the idea of getting it on the road sooner.

I’m reading about master cylinder/booster swaps to accommodate 4 wheel discs and possibly larger calipers. I have a disc brake 8.8 rear in my 96 already and the brakes are otherwise stock. It works fine (actually it works really well). I’m getting ready to swap in a Wagoneer front Dana 44 and...

What track bar setups are people running with highsteer/crossover steering? I'm getting ready to swap in a waggy D44 with flat top knuckles and I'm trying to figure out if the only way to set up the track bar is to fab one over the axle and inboard from the passenger coil spring (shorter than...

Awesome info! Thanks! Which pitman arm are you using btw?

Those offset tie rod ends might just be the ticket. Thanks!

Yep, that’s the kit. I have a HP f250 housing, complete Wagoneer front, and 5.5 hubs and Chevy short spindles ready to go. It’s gonna be a project 😂. I was about to order the knuckles/steering last night until I realized the coils on the factory Dana 30 actually sit forward on the axle and the...

I'm in the process of putting together a Wagoneer Dana 44 for the front of my XJ and was about to order a flat top knuckle kit for crossover/high steer, but just looked under my XJ and realized I might run into clearance issues with the coil springs and sway bar end links. Does anyone know how...

I’m getting ready to install Barnes frame stiffeners and Rusty’s 4 link longarms on my 96 and noticed the stiffeners are cut out where the factory transmission crossmember goes, so the oem crossmember doesn’t get lowered at all. My long arm kit doesn’t fit in the cutout, so I can either add...

I‘m suspicious of this being a coincidence tbh. At least two things failed, possibly 3, immediately after welding. The Jeep is maintained immaculately and has never broken down. I know it seems strange, but that’s just a really big coincidence.

It’s a 1996. I was MIG welding DC.
