Xj and Mj seats mount differently it is not a bolt in you either have to move the studs on the floor or change the seat brackets.

how can you tell the gear ratio of diff gears while they are installed, i found a 4 cylinder auto cherokee today while i was getting a v8 zj swaybar and it would be nice if it had a little lower gears in it

some with automatics had 4.56......but you will definitly get a lower ratio than the 4.0's had. 4.10s are most common, but 3.73 and 4.56 are around

sorry didnt read far enough down lol

On the durango steering box upgrade...is there a certain year model or range that I should look for? Also is there any fabrication that needs to be done for this swap? Can i use my stock spacer that goes between the box and frame? Let me know! Thanks in advance.
