Looking to do this very soon! I am currently rolling on 31x10.50's, but just in case I get bigger ones, I am already there.! Great info...how is the iro spacer working out for all of you who have one?

 

Mine works amazing!!! The steering honestly feels more stable. it didnt take long to install and it is Beefy!!! Only had to use two washers per bolt. But works great on the trail! Running 33x12.50x15.

 

Subscribed. Ive been wanting to do this to my newest build

 

Do it. It is cost effective and well worth it! I love the upgrade and recommend it to all my fellow XJ wheelers.

 

Did mine on Wednesday. Feels lighter and more accurate. Didn't use any washers tho

 

How? The box (if its the correct one) is physically too big to fit tight against the spacer with no shims (washers).

 

Ive read this post and noticed that some use different parts and others didnt require them. I have a 95 xj with a rough country winch bumper and sloppy steering with a lot of play on my 33's. I have a zj tie rod, factory drag, and good alignment. What parts and pieces would I need with the 99' Durango 4x4 steer box swap to upgrade this steering?

 

What all was required for the zj tie rod? Could xj tie rod ends work?
I noticed zj tie rods are much thicker and seem beefyer

 

tie rod was a straight bolt on, tie rod ends direct fit, no mod.

 

Really? Guess im going to the junk yard before I put the lift on.

 

I'm gunna hopefully be doing my Durango box/WJ pump this weekend. What kind of fluid is recommended? And how much of it?

 

What difference does a WJ pump makes over stock pump? Just curious.

 

Any dedicated power steering fluid. Fill till it's full, bleed, and fill again.

Reportedly higher pressure and easier turning. I have not done this mod yet so i cannot confirm.

 

Also, my box has been leaking a bit from the input seal for almost a year now.

Called up West Texas Offroad and ordered a seal kit and upgraded bearings for $53 shipped. Box will be getting rebuilt next month at some point,

 

Nice idea with the sleeves in the frame, and very nice for you to put up bolt sizes needed. My gear box has been leaking for a long time, and a used one brought to me with a 1 yr warranty is $75, so it's on my to do list.
