Default U joint size?

I'm ordering u joints for my 1998 XJ sport, the ones for the front wheels. RockAuto claims that both sizes fit, but from my reading, I think I need the larger bearing cap diameter. Can anybody confirm this for me?

The Mopar/Chrysler original part number is 4137-757, which
were supplied by Dana Spicer. That was the only wheel u-joint
used on 98 XJs.

It is now the Dana Spicer 5-760-X non-greaseable. Check it here.

Rockauto.com also sells them, a little cheaper.

Get some 1 3/16th snap rings if you wheel the Jeep. Do a little metal removal on the ears & run em.
