hey all. planning on swapping my 2000 xj's 3/4 roof rails for a full length version. I was at the local junk yard on the weekend and picked up some zj rails, which are the same style, use the same towers, and are longer. problem is they have more curvature to them and the mounting holes dont line up with mine very well. bening them straight isnt that big of an issue but drilling new holes into my roof is kind of sketchy, but possible. my question is, what is the spacing between holes on the years prior xj, years with full length roof rails. 97 plus, but older than 2000. also what is the weight rating for them. I make use of a yakima roof box during the winter for stowing my ski gear etc. the hole point of this swap is to make the roof box sit more forward, thus giving me full extension on my lift gate.
thx
