you might want to get the rear for the axle shafts also...you never know

Pretty sure most of the late model XJ's came w/ the Low Pinion D30. They started putting the LP's in the TJ's in 97 and they started trickling into the XJ's a couple years later. (IIRC) Better check it to make sure.

I'm pretty sure 2000 were low pinion 30s.

Yep, low pinion in 2000-01 XJ's. 97-99 are the years you want for the HPD30 with the stronger 297 UJoints.

The rear axle shafts will not fit in a KJ's 8.25(to short).There are about 5 different length's for the 8.25 axles and they all are in different vehicles and being a C-clip axle you need the correct axles to work.

there is a little more involved than just swapping out the D30a for the HP D30, you will need custom brackets new shocks, coils, the HP D30 is just the start for a SFA

Oh hi jsc

long time no talk lol

yea I have been reading alot on the sfa thread and I kno I have alot to go still lol but I was jw if that was a good start

ya the HP D30 is a good start I'm always looking for one cheap, either from a part out on a XJ or Ive thought about buying an XJ but then I wouldn't want to tear it apart for my KJ, Id end up building another rig :roll:
