Actually the rake is the same. There are minor, VERY minor, differences -
mostly having to do with the contour around the door vis a vis the
windshield, and so on. Also, the doorlatch pins are different.

I had a crack at CJ doors for my 98 TJ and we tried them on...they fit
close, SO close. But we couldn't close the doors, and I couldn't take the
time to figure why.

The hardtop the same way. Only difference is in the contour at the top of
the windshield. I dunno know WHY they made them close, so close, but not
interchangealbe

The contour of the top of the windshield has been redesigned a few times
to improve airflow. This area is one of the major contributors to noise
from the soft-top. They've changed it to both improve the amount of
turbulence right at that area and to smooth airflow over the soft-top.
