Yes, it will bolt in. I was a tj owner for many years. I bolted a xj diff. into my tj as a upgrade. The xj has a high pinion diff. which is a great bolt in. Normally people bolt the xj diff. into the tj. But ya it will work.

Yes it will bolt in. If you have a 00-01 cherokee they are EXACTLY the same and if you have a <99 then it will still bolt in but the gears are set up different, doesnt matter if it still has the same ratio though.
