Durango Steering Gear?

I have a 98 XJ, and need to raplace my steering gear. I want to upgrade to a Durango/Dakota gear. I think what I need is a 98 Durango/Dakota, 4x4, V-8, non- plow, gear. If that is right, is it a 5.9 or 5.2 or it doesn't matter?

All 99 and up used the same gear box. 98 and older had 2 options. You want a 99+ or 98- if it had the snowplow option.

Thank You! I will get a 99+ after I order a C-Roc inner brace. I already have a brace on the outer from my Or-Fab Bumper. Thank You again
