well w/ the disks already on it your gonna be lookin at the 1996-1998 grand cherokees w/ the V8, but its gonna have spring buckets and control arm brackets so your gonna have to weld on some spring perches and re-locate the shock mounts.

ZJ's only came with the D35. I'm pretty sure the WJ's have only had D35s or D44a rear ends.

But why would you want a c-clip 44 with very limited aftermarket support?

Where does it say that it was wanted now?? It was available from the factory in the 2nd generation of ZJ(96-98).
