Does this thing have tow package or not?

Can someone for the benefit of the neophytes explain what a clip vs. non clip means?
Also, what does the following mean for the towing and other characteristics:
JHS Dana M30/181MM Front Axle
DMDP 3.55 Rear Axle Ratio
DRAS Corporate 8.25 Rear Axle
And finally, if the build does have a transmission cooler, does it just say "trans. cooler" on the sheet?
You guys rock

A c clip inside the differential housing holds the axles in place. If the axle breaks, the wheel will eventually fall off.
A non c clip has a plate behind the axle flange that holds the axle/bearing in the housing.

example of a c-clip axle:
example of a non c-clip axle (note the retainer plates):
You have a Dana 30 front axle (all 4X4 XJs do), a Chrysler 8.25" rear axle (the same axle used in Durangos, Dakotas, older Ram 150/1500s, Liberties, etc., 8.25" refers to the ring-gear diameter), this has equivalent strength to a Dana 44, but less aftermarket support. You have a 3.55:1 axle ratio (front and rear), virtually all 4.0L I6, automatic XJs are 3.55:1.

cool.
i have yet to snap a rear axle shaft yet too, but it can happen.
91 and up definitely c-clip.
also, an xj44 is a semi float, non c-clip. that's another reason they are so desirable.

never seen a country with 3.73 gearing. not saying it isn't true, but i doubt it.
can you show me proof? don't take this the wrong way, i just want to be sure for my own mind.

My mistake the 3.73 gears came with the tow package, since the Limited slip came with the Upcountry package I assumed the gears did too. My 98 Classic had both packages.
