According to NAPA online your gear box and the Grand gear are different part numbers, not saying it won't work, just different part numbers

The bolt pattern seem to be the same but I think the gear ratios are different to compensate for the heavier ZJ. Don't know exact years.

maybe one out of a 4.0 ZJ would work better than V8?
And that guy on craigslist said he wanted 75.
So i will just go to a yard that is right by were my stepdad works and get arm and box for 50 bucks

ok after some research i found they will interchange. They both have the same Saginaw box mounting. But the ZJ has a faster ratio. About 3.1 turns to lock compared to 4 turns of XJ box.
So you actually get a lil quicker steering with one of these as well.
