At the moment I'm running a set of 33 cooper ST's.

My kit was shipped in two pieces because they didn't have the diff cover in stock. It didn't take long to get the first shipment, maybe a few weeks? The diff cover took almost 2 months.

Unfortunately I wasn't concerned about ratios but I believe most of them were 4.10. I have a vague recollection that the ratio was on the little metal tag attached to the cover saying 4L10 or something.

The shock mounts are mounted parallel to the axle as opposed to perpendicular. So my shocks bush gets pretty knocked around under flex. I am going to cut them flat and weld a perpendicular on onto it to make it more like the XJ factory setup.

You will need a press to put the flange that comes with the kit onto your 1310 diff end of your tailshaft, that is about the only thing that is harder than the d44 swap I reckon.
