I only mention it because the ones I found (2930's) were also for the grand cherokees but the ones with 4.0's only (1.5" 110-200 lbs on the XJ).
The 2934 says v8 Grand Cherokees.
They will fit. Alot of guys use V8 ZJ springs has a budget boost (stock springs), it should get me really close to 3"

That is interesting. I also noted the shipping weight difference. Might just be a fluke.
2930's is 21 lb, The 2934's 10 lb.

It probably is. I'm actually kicking around pulling these wheels and budget boost in favor of Upcountry, stock steelies, 235 75 15 GY radials for a plain and basic setup.

Not bad! I like the simple look as well. I also Kayak fish so I like having the roof low enough incase I dont want to do the whole trailer thing.

The 2001 will have the 0331 head. If the head's not been replaced, at this mileage, its not likely to crack just don't overheat it.

Ikr.. both our 2000's are in that 0331 boat. The DD is at 321k miles.
I just like a fresh start and not someone else's project.
I figure carry a piece if I go in see it in that area, though.

Wow, found a 3 day old CL ad. Same year/color w aluminum wheels for 1400 :O

Ahh cool!
We have a pair of Jackson white water yaks and two, tandem IK's.
I have been hauling them side by side but I stack them on each other when it looks like rain. The hit on mpg seems similar either way.
ATM we have to drive 4.5 hours one way to get in whitewater. :/

We have "whitewater" nearby. May not be Ocoee, but theres a handful around. I have a Wilderness Systems Tarpon 120. I'm more of a Rec/Fisher than a dedicated fisherman

I ended up pulling the lift and make tire/rim swap around. Pretty happy how its turned out (for both)

That is exactly why we closed on a home in central CO.
Looking good, there!
Next stop SCCA tracks ​​​​​​​

Ha! Is that brand new!? Looks like it. I love those bumpers and very happy I got one - albeit used. Spent months trying to find and eventually got one but I had to drive 5 hrs to get it.

Default Xj 2000 axles parts

Dear everyone,

How do i know if my Jeep has the Dana 30? Dana 35? Dana 44? Chrysler 8,25?

how do i know if the front is the same as the rear one?

These questions are asked for 2 main reasons:
1: to install lockers, and here come another question; do i need a locker for the front and another one for the back?? Do i need only one?? If yes, only in the front or the back? Or maybe Can i connect one for both axles??
2: is because if the lifting, i need to know to order the right size of the u-bolts

thank you so much in advance for the answers, maybe easy answers for you that i find actually difficult to know 😁

Get your build sheet here https://fcacommunity.force.com/RAM/s/equipment-listing.. the build sheet will tell you what axles came in your jeep.. Locker in front ( my opinion)
