Default Hp dana 30 lor low pinion?
I have a 00' xj with a Dana 30 front and I am trying to buy parts for a 4.88 upgrade and I know jeep switched from HP to LP halfway through 2000. What's the easiest way to find out if its HP or LP?

How can you be certain? I thought it changed to LP halfway through?
