all 91 and up 4.0's are H.O. stock, i don't think there is a way to get a non HO motor after 91 from the factory in a jeep.

the front end has around 6 with stock shocks, but if you put on longer shocks you can get about 8. with a lift you can get much more.


my budy has a grand cherokke that we take in the dunes all the time, from a combination of jumping and hitting rouq whoops, he has bent 3 axles.

the 5 speeds are fairly stout mine had 187 on it and was still going.

a cherokee will do at least as well if not better in the dunes that a 4runner, and you'll find its really good for trails too.
