everything but the driveshaft. you can use a front shaft from a xj with auto tranny or buy new from tom woods or elsewhere.
i run this kit with a front driveshaft from a 2001 xj.

MUDD, how much lift are you running on your XJ. The reason I ask is I was wondering how high you can be and still use a stock front XJ driveshaft with your SYE and have it be long enough. I have around 5.5-6" of lift on my Jeep.

4", sometimes 4.5" when i don't haul all that garbage back there. It seems to be long enough. I haven't actually checked though but will extend it and see this week when i work on it.

I think you could go as big as 5" and still run a stock front DS...Also when looking at the SYE make sure of which t-case you have. That kit mud linked is for the 231. If you have a 242 you will have to the the hack-n-tap sye.

i would use a cherokee front drive shaft. even if its to short or to long its only like 100 bucks at a shop to get it lengthened/shortened and balanced. thats a lot better than 300 for a gay tom woods

If you value customer service, I wouldn't buy anything from PORC, no matter how cheap they are.
I would get the kit from AA

BTW, PORC is now banned from Pirate for their shoddy business practices. I think that should tell you everything you need to know about them.

Did pirate ban rusty's too? pirate is no better than any other forum. i dont consider them superior to any other.
i bought two things from them. both came within reasonable amount of time (sye : 5 days shock: 7 days). my friend bought the same sye and got it quicker. He screwed up the plastic gear piece by accident and called to see if he could get a replacement. they overnighted the piece at no charge. i dont see any problems with them. maybe others have but i haven't heard much negative about them.
