what gears do you have now? if you have 373 you should be able to use it. I actually dont know my ratios, next time i'm under there i'll check it out. I have stock grears in an 92 auto cherokee laredo |

you don't have 3.73 or higher. they are incredibly rare. most likely the best you willl have is 3.54 or 3.07 but it is likely you have 3.54s'
you will need a new carrier, they are only like $100.00.
but if you are going to change your r&p just pony up and get a locker.

Yea thats what i'm figuring.
I may pickup a new carrier for the front, and put my lunchbox locker in it, then grab a detroit for the rear.

just bite the bullet and buy a locker or a ls for the front, it will only cost you a few hundred more, and better to do it once while it is apart, instead of paying for it twice.

I'm running 3.xx gears with a locked D30 on the front already. I'm just saying, i'll probably keep that locker, and just get a new carrier when i regear. |

looks like it got a little away from it, but i think you will be happy with Rock Krawler. i love the coils and long arms. why not go for front long arms on your xj while your at it, its not much more. and i think these coils ride better than the RE ones i previously had, but all a matter of opinion.

No personal experience, so take this with a grain of salt. I frequent the NAXJA list, where these guys realy put some XJ's to the test. They pretty much swear by RE, but Rock Krawler seems to be getting some notice. most things I have read, suggest that the earlier RK products weren't that great. the jury on the gen 2 stuff (according to NAXJA threads) is still out, but looks promising.
Most don't care for Rusty's for long term serious off roading. You may want to check out there and do a search for the various systems you are looking at.
I'm only planning some mild mods to my XJ, so I went with OME. Hope this helps some.
