Wish I could be more helpful, just went through this with my AX-15 transmission on my 98'. There's a YouTube channel called Gear Box Garage. The guy who runs it is a savant with jeep transmissions. His email address is on his YouTube channel. I reached out to him for help and he walked me...

Hey everyone, does anyone know what these wires are coming out of the tail gate and connected to the tire carrier?

Hey everyone, Well I removed the shifter from my 1998 jeep TJ 4.0 to try and replace the inner most shifter boot and I gotta admit., I'm getting my but kicked trying to get this thing working. Does anyone have any idea how to get the pressed fit apart? I'm worried im chewing up the spring...

Hey everyone, My TJ didn’t come with any top at all. No soft top, no hardware, nothing. I'm trying to figure out exactly what parts I need to buy in order to install a soft top from scratch. Also, if it matters, it's a stock 98 sahara with full steel doors. Thanks in advance. I appreciate any...

Hey everyone, I’m chasing a no-crank issue on my 1998 Jeep TJ and could use some guidance. The battery is charged and I have interior power — dash lights come on and the radio works normally. When I turn the key to START, the engine will not crank. So far I have: Verified the battery is good...

Probably going to need to go to a junk yard. There's a great one in Phoenix AZ full of old TJs.

Hey everybody, it's starting to cool down in Phoenix finally. I hopped into the TJ and it's making a noise I can't put my finger on. Here's a video. Anyone have any ideas?

Update post: Alright folks! New shocks and coils went on the front today. I was a little over-optimistic thinking we could do the front and rear the same day. We started by removing the old coils and shock, then cycled the suspension with the mew shocks so we could set bump-stop length. I...

OK, I've decided that just to be safe and spare myself a bunch of trouble I'm going to go ahead and buy 2" lift coils as well. Can I get away with just doing 2" shocks and coils or are there other mods I need to make as well?

So is the consensus here that the 239s will or wont work for my current 1" lift?

Ok! After reading this and going out and taking measurements, I feel like I have a way better idea what i'm doing now. Here's what I found. Right now, my front shock at ride height is about 18.5 inches. I hopped on the rancho website, and it looks like there are a few shocks that would work in...

I think the reason im so confused is that the ranchos are what Chris recommends in this post for a 2 inch lift but the listings on amazon all sat it wont work for a 2" lift.

These are the shocks most folks recommend around here for city driving with occasional off-road. I'm currently trying to find a set that works with my lift. https://www.amazon.com/Rancho-RS5000X-Gas-Shocks-set/dp/B01963XI50/?tag=wranglerorg-20

Does anyone know if these will work with a 0-2" lift? https://www.amazon.com/Rancho-RS5000X-Gas-Shocks-set/dp/B01963XI50/?tag=wranglerorg-20

Good to see you again Mac! Can you point toward some instructions on how to do that?
