    The Durango steering box gives you a bit more power, and it’s a bit quicker lock to lock.

    So, I gave a 96 XJ, alot of the same stuff. 456 gears, 8″ lift, SYE conversion, MORE mounts, alot more. Question, do you have any or alot of vibration when going down the hwy, say 65-70 mph? If yes I am done. If no, then I am going for a new drive shaft, any ideas? Thanks!

    which header do you recommend for a 2001? I have been looking everywhere for a Borla header for my XJ but they don’t make them for 2001 :(
