Apparently the four bolt boxes are stronger. If there is anything else I don't know.

The main difference is the 3 bolts use bronze bush's where as the 4 bolts use bearings .

Are they interchangable? Can you fit a four bolt box to a RRC with a 3 bolt box?

You can but then you need the whole schebang, hose fittings are different so you need the matching ps hoses and possibly the matching pitman arm as well.

Im pretty sure you only need an Oring addapter for the early lines to fit the 4 bolt box.
