Are you looking for an aftermarket seat? Might be cheaper to just pick up a stock OEM jeep seat.

I ran a Dana 30 HP for a long time and had no problems. I only ran 33s and a 6.5" lift but didnt have any problems. I didnt wheel it too hard but it definitely wasnt a mall crawler. I believe some guys upgrade to D44s up front.

What qualifies to be an XJ? The model of the vehicle should be XJ. For the front seat IIRC 1995-1996 XJ will work maybe some modification required. 1997-2001 XJ seats will fit as well as WJ seats (1999-2004 Grand Cherokee)
