1997 ZJ Maintenance Items- What are the best brands?
 

Hello Group,

I am planning on having some maintenance work done on my 1997 Jeep Grand
Cherokee Limited. The Jeep is a daily driver with 94k miles on it. 5.2L V8
Engine.

I want to go ahead and replace the following items. Please give me your
opinions as to what the best brands are for the different items.

1. Shocks- I'm currently looking at the Doetsch Tech DT-3000 Shocks. Are
these a good overall non-gas shock?

2. Steering Stabilizer- Can anyone recommend a good one? I understand that
there is one by Old Man Emu that is pretty good. I believe Doetsch Tech also
makes one.

3. Spark Plugs- OEM or Aftermarket? Is Autolite a good brand? They seem to
have a good reputation and are very easy to find locally.

Are there any other items that I should be replacing at this mileage
(94k)??? All major fluids have been changed within the past 6k miles.

Thanks!
James

I have a skyJacker and really like it. Most people in my 4x4 club are running it.

After market - get the Platinum Spark Plug they burn cleaner
