It just allows you to use the 4th bolt on a different model steering gear. You can still install these gears without that kit, you just don't use the 4th ear on the gear housing. Some early YJ gears were like this I think, as were some J10 and Waggy gears. They'll all bolt up to an XJ just fine though (from what I've read anyway). I think those gears have the same benefits as a Durango gear - ie: more power assist, slightly quicker ratio.
Don't get me wrong, I think it's a good kit, and if I was going to install a gear that used 4 bolts, I'd probably look into that kit, but it's not a necessity to be able to install those other steering gears.
