yes...

Dude, please listen to these guys.

 

Yes. It could also go into my 87, but yours is a low pinion, mine is a high pinion. If you ate looking for a replacement, try to find a HP D30 non disco.

 

i am listening to them i will look at this weekend what should i look for. i am always open for help. so to get you correct the high pinion from the 98 will bolt into my 2000 that has low pinion

 

Yes it will be an upgrade especially if you are lifted or plan to wheel it.

 

okay thank you the reason i figured it would be better to just get ne axle cause i can get it cheap its 100% complete and now it will be upgrade to HP from my low pinion

Next question:
i know its un bolt and re bolt but sinces its HP will all my steering and track bar and such still work and will all it will need is an alignment right?

 

It's a direct bolt-in and yes you should get it aligned or align it yourself. Lot's of write-ups on the Interwebz about it.

 

okay thank you prob gonna get it this weekend paint it up and check everything out then next weekend and install it

 

you could even align it yourself it takes all of 5 minutes to do with a tape measure and a wrech. plus idk the alignment prices by you for a 4x4 but around here its 85 bucks plus 30 extra for larger tires

 

how do i align myself with out taking it to a shop

 

once you get it all bolted up. the tie rod that goes to drivers side knuckle and connects to the drag link. loosen up those clamps and take some channel locks or a pipe wrench and start turning it to adjust the front of the tires moving in or out. if i remember correctly for the 231 tcase you want the front to be 1/8in closer then the rear and for the 242 1/16in closer then the rear. someone correct me if im wrong on that.i just did mine to 1/16in for my 242 and it drives straight for miles(not kidding on this) and tire wears evenly

 

Transfer case has nothing to do with it.

ahem.....

How can I do an alignment with a tape measurer?

 

see i did a lot of reading before i did my alignment in my driveway and thats all it came up with. but whatever my drives straight now so i dont care anymore

 

That's fine....

But posting incorrect info (even minor like this) doesn't really help anyone.

 

thats y i stated someone correct me if im wrong because i wasnt sure on it since i havent done mine in awhile.
