Then get the adapter and rebuild a d300 and twin stick it. You get 2 wd hi and lo, ability for front digs and the strongest case next to an atlas, which US basically a Dana 300 on roids. You will need to run a fsj Dana 44 up front because the 300 drops on the pass side. But if building a project do it hd and do it right.

Was waiting for an oil change to do this, but I think got a leak coming from the oil pain bolt. What would you guys recommend for a replacement bolt?

The one that keeps the oil from falling out. THE DRAIN PLUG, from when you do an oil change. I was wondering if I should get one with a rubber washer or something because I think the screw might be stripped.

Here's a quick one....
Would 97 wrangler front coils fit my 96 xj?
There's a set on craiglist for cheap. They are one inch lift coils. If they did fit do you think they would be still one in lift or less? Thanks.

TJ front coils fit, but they give 1" less lift. Those 1" coils would be stock height on an XJ.
