the 241OR t-case

but, the low range in the 231 is more than fine for most xj builds

so you think the stock t-case will do just fine with say, 6.5" lift, stock f-r axles, and 35's? i will eventually get lockers, but it wont be right away. i just love the 4:1 ratio in my friends h3 5spd

if you are geared correctly in your axles, then low range will be more than fine with 35's
