98 Durango v-8 NON-snow plow package is a direct bolt on for my 99. Took about 2 hours to complete. Im very happy with it

The snow plow package has a quicker gear set "less turns to stops" where the non-snow plow is same as our stock gear boxes I think the 99 Durango boxes fit our jeeps to. Also I believe it's only a direct bolt on up to 02-03.

I ordered a Durango box from autozone for 179 you will need to bring your old box in to exchange it

So then it does fit a 98....

 

[TJCOUNTRYBOY]

will this work with a 98 2.5?

 

[James 98TJ]

I have a 98 2.5 make sure you tell them no snow plow

Yes, a 98-99 Durango steering box will fit a 1997-2002 TJ.

I just ordered a Fenco steering box from advanced auto, part # SG17917. It's a remanufactured Dodge Durango, non-Plow '99. I can confirm that during install it was a bit beefier than the stock box on my '99. I did not have to do any modifications to the bumper but it was a tight fit. If you order through advanced, look for the online coupon codes to get $50 or more off the order.

Someone mentioned that the snow plow version has quicker steering and my understanding is that this is incorrect. The non-plow version has a gear ratio that provides stop-to-stop turning in 2 15/16 revolutions of the steering wheel. The plow version, and the stock TJ box do it in 3 3/8 revolutions, making the non-plow a slightly quicker turning box, but this does not result in tighter turning radius! The quicker turning reportedly is not detectable in everyday driving. I maybe have noticed a touch more sensitivity now that I have the new non-plow steering installed and everything aligned properly.

With the right tools (pitman puller and a big wrench for that nut holding the pitman on) it's a pretty straightforward bolt on affair and should take the avg Joe about 2-3 hours.
