Use the 68-231-4 cam instead unless you're planning to run your engine at high rpm for extended periods.
The MAP sensor-based speed density fuel management system in our Jeeps doesn't like big cams and the low vacuum will cause very poor idle quality.
If you're intent on using the 68-239-4 cam anyway, I suggest you contact FlyinRyan who can reprogram your ECU to cope with the bigger cam.
