[QUOTE="TRevs, post: 436429, member: 20654"] It's got the 4.0L I-6 and AX-15. I pulled the build sheet and it says: "Lt. Pearlstone Pearl Coat" "DANA M235 WIDE REAR AXLE" "3.55 REAR AXLE RATIO" among other things. The hard top and carpet are long gone, as are the original wheels and seats. At least it still has doors! The PO put in OME springs and aftermarket long shackles for a total of 4" of lift. It's on 33x12.5 Goodyears. The tires are brand new but I really don't want to run 33's. There's a T-case drop. There's a lot of wander in the steering, and at a minimum it'll get new tie rod ends soon. There was a significant gas leak from above the tank; the PO helped me drop the tank and replace the cracked hoses. I should have taken photos of that! There's some minor rust to address, plus all the fluids/maintenance. I need to source a stock airbox too. The to-do list is already fairly long. My dilemma is what to do with the lift/tires. I know I want to return it to near-stock height and approach a stock appearance, but I'm debating whether to return to stock height shackles and keep the OME springs, for ~30" tires, or go even smaller (~235/75/R15) and go to stock spec shackles and springs. Advice is welcome! [/QUOTE]
