Default AX15 Transfer Case Crossmember Swap

I have some vibs from the lift in my XJ auto and I finally found an AX15 crossmember to lower my tcase abit. The guy is delivering it to me as he is passing by but I just want to make sure this is what I need. Its out of a 92 so it should be what I need right?

Usually you get some 1x1 steel tube and use that as a spacer with longer bolts to the subframe....

Like $10 at a hardware store. Just make sure its 1/4" wall or thicker.

Yeah I know, but this way for $30.00 I dont lose ground clearance and I dont need longer bolts and studs.

It looks like the regular old crossmember. When I pulled a crossmember from an AX15 from the JY I compared it to an AW4 I pulled. They looked identical. So I didn't buy it. Maybe its only older ones? I dunno.

This is a crossmember from a 92 XJ with an ax15, I dont remember what mine looks like and i cant get out to see it right now. Can anyone confirm this? Or maybe I need a crossmember from a newer XJ???
