this is a preference question. whatever you want to do. some do the front first thinking it will pull the xj over obstacles. some rear thinking it will push the xj over obstacles. me personally have seen it done both ways and rear locked before the front has had great success. i did my rear first.

you know you can go outside and look at it? pinion will sit above the axle tubes for high and the opposite for the low pinion. but im positive its a high pinion so you need reverse cut gears

I have a tow pkg on my 94 and the rears have 3.55's in them...Tj
