Im sure you could get it to work, Just have to change the brackets to leaf spring for the rear, hook up the Elocker (if it is equipped with one), etc.
Just make sure its teh same width.

The axels he is talking about come with rear leaf springs. This is a screaming deal jump on it. For the front install get the tnt 44 truss.

Considering there $1,000 to $2,000 new for that price id jump on that right away. I had thought about this swap as well so if you do get them and swap them post up a build because i want to see what it takes for them to fit under the cherokee.

I got really excited when I saw this and thought this was going to be a thread on an axle swap, but it's not.
Yes they will fit but will take some modifications as any axle swap does.

thanks. i called him up looking for a mil spec d60 front 14 bolt rear and he asked how much i was willing to spend. i said 450-500. he told me he had the J8 mil front 44 rear 60 and said 500 and it was a deal. it dont help his dad prolly bought them for a project that he decided to sell before he got around to installing them.
has anyone found a way to upgrade/reinforce the engine side of the motor mounts. my right side got ripped off the block and i was driving on the street. id really hate to have that happen on the trail.
