in the end, you're better to just swap the whole entire axle.
you can pull the tube seal thats in your axle and install an inner seal and add a block off plate just so you can swap the shafts with tj shafts to get the larger u-joints, but that's a lot of work, having to pull the carrier and such.

find an axle from either a 95 and up (they all came with the larger joints) or an abs equipped axle from an earlier xj.

the calipers/mounts changed from the 89 to 90 year tho. easy enough to just swap knuckles or calipers... depending on the donor axle and year of your xj.

So look for a 95 axle with breaks and everything ready to go and I won't have a vacuum thing
So 95 and newer have a locked axle factory or how does that work???

I bought a perma lock for my CAD on my 89 just for temporary purposes (while I am shorting my 1 ton axles) its real easy to do and have had no problems with it so far.
