Adjustable will allow for changes if you raise or lower. Most are adequate. I just ordered some from IRO to replace my stock crap without lift. And for the TB, yes. You won't be disappointed.

She is just warming up. As long as she has been maintained decently you will be fine. May even get another 150 out of her

In some cases even if it hasn't been maintained, as long as you do, it will be ok.

207k on my 99, 314k on my 91

Nothing I know of. But personally, I hate the look and haven't tried to find anything similar.

Make sure it fits your MJ, whatever you buy. Our rear wheel openings are longer than XJs.

Looking at new steering boxes for the 99 XJ, looking at the AGR super box. But don't know if 3/4" with 30 splines is the box splines or front axle splines. Here's the link to the product.

http://www.quadratec.com/products/56112_55.htm

Just curious if this will just bolt up.

Most people upgrade with a 1998/99 V8 Dodge Durango (without plow) steering box from a parts store. It bolts in, and it's stronger with a better turning ratio.

Anybody made bumpstop strike plates on the spring plates? How long did to make them? I'm thinking I'll come about 4 inches past the spring plates.
