change crossbars

Hey all-

I just got a Yakima roof rack and mounted my spair up there. It seems to be a bit much for my stock cross bars. Which year Grand Cherokee bars will fit my 98 XJ to beef it up?

thx

ZJ cross rails won't fit an XJ's roof rack.

It's the standard spare, it just flexes over bumps which makes it noiser than it already is. The guy I bought it from got rails from an ZJ and they worked. He just didn't remember which year.
