How hard to swap wagoneer 44 axels into cherokee?

I found these on ebay and they seem like a good price to build up for my cherokee. My question is: how hard are they to swap in the grand scheme of other axels to swap into a cherokee?

Thanks everyone!!!!

Simple, axle swaps are fairly straight forward anyway.

You'll need brakets for the front or a tnt truss and spring perches and shock mounts for the rear. You will also need to regear since those are way high ratios. If you can get them for 350 plan on another 1500 including gears to get them in plus new wheels.

I think those are out of a GRAND wagoneer, they look alot wider than what the XJ has. So you'd be relocating all the brackets and figuring out a custom steering setup.

They are an inch wider at most and it comes with the tie rod so you'll be fine.
