Hey.
I am trying to do a total budget build (total meaning I know a Junkyard that has parts for free, and my jeep was free). I was thinking about putting in the front and back axles from a fullsize Chevy Blazer. Bearing in mind I can legally have the wheels as far out to the sides as I want, will this work, and how easily will it work?

Rear would work, front would not without major modification. Chev's are passenger side drop on the front differential and your XJ is a driver side drop front diff.
