Default ZJ parts in an XJ!!!

Does anyone know if a ZJ steering box will fit in an XJ? i would like the quicker steering ratio i think it would help alot, so as not have to turn it 3 times around to make a damn turn!

Get a Durango box. Stronger and better turning ratio.

Nice link dude, very helpful.

By the looks of it, it should take a dude half an hour to do this swap.
