the durango box is a better swap then the yj box. 4 bolts dont make the box better. durango box has larger internals for more steering power w/ the right pump mod. the yj box has the same size piston as the xj box

My old jeep ran the stock box with 36's and a ARB for a few years worked fine till it ripped the uni body behind it........fixed and ran for a few more years.........new jeep has the YJ's because a bolt broke in the stock box.......if you need more you should be running hydro.......

I think the YJ does have a different ratio........but I've never driven a durango box on a XJ........I've never had a problem with the actual box or internals of the stock XJ's even with running 36's and a locker........it was other things that went first.....The assist isn't as much meant to take the force away from you but to take the pressure off the frame (uni-body) and put it on the axle.

you ever get stuck between two big rocks at full lock with a stock box? its not the easiest to steer out. throw an assist on and its a walk in the park.
