I have a chance to pick up a steering box out of a 98 Durango v8. Question is, will it fit my xj? Thanks in advance

 

Yes, it will. Bolts right in

 

should bolt right in. i got one sitting in the garage to swap in. i kept the mounting bolts from the dodge too just in case they are a bit longer

 

Sure does, I would HIGHLY recommend using a C-ROK mounting bracket/spacer. Much beefier than the stock mounting bracket and provides the right amount of offset to keep it off the frame, plus includes new hardware. Optional, but I would recommend replacing the tie rod end at pitman arm, high and low pressure lines while you are at it.

Thanks. I already have rustys heavy duty steering so I don't think I need to replace my tie rods or anything. I found one off a 98 Durango, $50. I texted the guy asking if it was rack and pinion and he said no. I go up there, pop the hood and it was rack and pinion. Haven't found anything else yet so I think I might rebuild my box. It has quite a bit of play
