95 zj high pinion swap
Sorry for asking a question that has probably been asked a thousand times. I am wanting to swap my front diff to a high pinion. I have a 4.5 inch rubicon lift. The high pinion will give me a better driveshaft angle. Is this a direct bolt-in? Thanks

Direct swap..
Just make sure you get a matching gear ratio. If your 95 ZJ is a 4.0L you probably have a 3:55 ratio.. an XJ 4.0L/Automatic would be the axle of choice as their plentiful. 90+ and you eliminate the disco axle.. but no later than 99 to get the High Pinion.
If your a V8 you most likely have 3:73's. Also in the XJ but a bit harder to find.
