This kit is not recommended for trucks with ABS brakes and dual rear wheels. Using this kit and / or larger combinations of tires and wheels, the efficiency of the ABS system and reduce the amount of pressure on the pedal for braking distance of a few.
1. Carefully before installation. This 4 “lift kit is designed to be installed on ’84-’86 Jeep Cherokee with default Command Trak 5 -. The speed of the original configuration for propeller must be removed and replaced with the drive shaft new more balanced with two new universal joints, a new slip joint and a longer strap on the new industrialists end transfer case. The manual clearly states that the standard 5-speed transmission can not be involved and enthusiastic 4-wheel drive on the road or on a hard and smooth surface. This lift kit must be installed on vehicles with an automatic Select-Trak emissions. Contact your local dealer for driveshaft news.
2. Refer to Maintenance Manual for removal procedures appropriate component assembly OE (such as the direction, something else) OE. See instructions below for special tools necessary for this installation.
3. Compare the components of your system with the parts list included. Component placement equipment before starting the installation can reduce the time. Contact Trail Master dealer if any parts are missing or appear to be different from those in the parts list.
The Jeep Patriot concept was first introduced at the 2005 International Motor Show in Frankfurt, Germany. The 2008 Patriot has an instrument panel that is nicely laid out and easily read regardless of the driver’s seat position. The engine has adequate power, although I would have preferred a little more vigor and a little less engine noise. The Patriot is larger than the Jeep Compass, but smaller than the Commander.

Background:
The transmission override frees up the computer’s control of first and second gear in the AW4 automatic transmission found in Jeep Cherokees from 1988 to 2001 as well as the 1993 Grand Cherokee. The engineers at Aisin Warner decided that Jeep owners did not need manual control over the first two gears in their transmission. They designed the transmission to have a “1-2” slot in the shifter to control both first and second gear with the computer. Therefore, the user does not have any control when the transmission shifts to second or first. For example, the transmission does not allow engine braking in first gear because the computer refuses to shift into first. Additionally, the computer shifts into second after about 4500 rpm, a detrimental effect in sand and snow. A user mod has been out for quite some time to free up these gears. However, with the
integration of the OBD2 system in 1997, the check engine light will trip when this mod is used. The MAF transmission override is designed to be compatible with OBD2 systems and will not trip the light.
FRONT: 1. Secure and properly block the tires of vehicle on a level concrete or asphalt surface. 2. Jack up front of vehicle and install jack stands under frame behind the lower link rear brackets. Remove tires and front shocks. 3. Loosen, but DO NOT remove the sway bar end link’s lower bolts at axle housing on both sides (see picture #1). Lower front axle down until coil springs become loose. Remove the bottom bolt and clip from left front coil spring (see picture #2). 4. Now remove both coil springs. 5. Install 2″ coil spring isolator pads on top (front spring) of the factory pads. Place the 2″ spacer in the lower mount for the rear spring. (See picture #4)

Engine Compartment
1. Disconnect both battery cables. Disconnect negative cable first, then positive cable.
PRE-INSTALLATION
This kit is not recommended for trucks equipped with ABS brake systems or dual rear wheels. Use of this kit and/or larger tire and wheel combinations may reduce the effectiveness of ABS system and increase the amount of pedal pressure necessary to obtain a given braking distance.
1. Read carefully before proceeding with installation. This 4” lift kit is designed to be installed on ‘84-’86 Jeep Cherokee with standard “Command Trak” 5-speed transmissions. The original factory front drive shaft must be removed and replaced with new longer balanced drive shaft featuring 2 new universal joints, a new longer slip yoke and a new industrial flange on the transfer case end. The owners manual clearly states that the standard 5-speed transmission is not to be engaged and driven in 4-wheel drive on the highway or on smooth hard surfaces. This lift kit is not to be installed on vehicles with automatic “Select-Trak” transmissions. Contact your local dealer for new driveshaft.
2. Refer to OE service manual for proper disassembly/assembly procedures for OE components (like steering shaft, anything else). Consult the following instructions for special tools necessary for this installation.
3. Compare parts included in your system with the enclosed parts list. Placing hardware with compoents before you start may reduce installation time. Contact your Trail Master dealer if any parts are missing or appear to be different than those indicated on the parts list.
Ultimate capability
When you’re equipped with any one of these advanced 4WD systems, greater confidence, wherever you choose to drive, is simply part of the plan. Climb the rockiest hills and plow through the deepest snowdrifts with Quadra-Drive II™. With front and rear Electronic Limited-Slip Differentials (ELSD) that can help transfer up to 100 percent of available torque to any one wheel with traction, this Trail Rated® system provides ultimate traction in the most severe driving conditions. Stay on course with the innovative all-speed traction control built right into the Quadra-Trac II™ Trail Rated system. If slippage is detected, up to 100 percent of the available torque can be routed to the axle with the most traction. Or, shift into low range for even greater performance to conquer challenging conditions off-road. Standard on Laredo, Quadra-Trac I™(1) is a full-time system that operates smoothly, with no driver interaction required. Under normal driving conditions, torque is distributed 48 percent to the front wheels and 52 percent to the rear wheels. If wheel slippage occurs, the integrated traction control system helps transfer torque to those wheels with traction for secure 4WD capability when driving on-road during hazardous weather conditions.
