They look like the ones I had on my '99 which Norah had on her '98. :)
There's an extra crossmember that has to get bolted in between the front
axle and the trasfer case to support the rear end of the front plate.

Best bet may be just to bite the bullet and buy the Mopar kit from a
dealer. Just make sure you specify which model year it's for. I think
those plates will do pretty well for you.

Just make sure you get that torsion bar crossmember straightened out
first, else you'll have a world of trouble bolting on the middle plate.
