quick question are the dana 30 front ends from 97 and newer xj and tj's the same

quick question are the dana 30 front ends from 97 and newer xj and tj's the same. I need to either replace my LCA mount on my 99 xj (bent it to no return) or swap out the front end. I figured if I could use either the search would go faster.

thanks

Check with rubicon express, we just replaced the LCAs on a Rubicon the other day that were fubar'ed, they were cheap and much beefier than the stock ones. Any good welding shop or garage can replace them if thats not your thing.

All the TJs are low pinion. The XJ did not start using low pinions until 2000.
