Default Replacing Gear Box

My stock box is getting bad and it needs to be replaced. I've wanted to go with the Durango, since I run 33s, but a few friends have done it and have mixed feelings about it. They've said they lost some turning radius, but you can turn with your pinky. Should I just get an XJ one and be done with it?

If so, do I get this one?

I have an automatic 92.

I swapped mine to a durango box and never noticed any loss in turning radius. Can't turn the wheel with my pinky though...

I can turn with my index finger on my XJ. My box is in good shape I guess lol. Do the swap. You won't regret it.

I'll go with the XJ box then, just cause I have to buy other XJ stuff soon. I'm also planning on getting IRO's spacer.
