no has to be from an XJ - a 97-01 XJ with the c8.25 in your case. Very few if any came with that gearset from the factory so you're better off just buying some new, or finding some in the forum classifieds.

yes - it's one of those jobs left to professionals. Usually costs about $300 labor to have gears setup in an axle

looks like they sent you the wrong trackbar that one's for a lot bigger lift

It's for a 2-6" lift I believe. Thebother side is fixed. Like a stock track bar. Is it drivable?

Definitely looks wrong. Looks like the wrong track bar (too big). The bracket end should look like this...

Ive only found gears as low as 4.56 for c8.25. Dont think they make and lower for aftermarket and not sure if any vehicles that used it had 4.10s

You're gonna do the second part. I jacked up the front end (Idk if it helped or not) then soaked it in PB blaster and turned it with vice grips. Look at your steering wheel periodically to see where you're at. Then tighten everything back up.
