The reason modification is needed seems to be that the 'throw' (distance lever travels from indexing once) differs from TC tab and chassis tab. The two throw distances need to be equaled.
I am etheir going to get the TC tab off of a mid 90s blazer/s10'or I can modify the tab on my exist T Case. The only thing that needed to be modified other than that was the hole size where the old linkage attached. I just welded the holes closed and drilled new holes of the correct size. Here's some pics off a write up that I'm following that compares the XJ TC Tab vs the blazer/s10 TC tab.

We had snow this morning so used the XJ to drive the wife to work. The roads were very snowy and slushy so I just left it in 4WD except when making hard turns. I experienced no problems, didn't feel any binding or any issues.

I didn't know Cherokees had torsion bars. I thought it was torsion bars or front springs.
