Welp.. Since you didn't tell us the year of the Wrangler, engine or trim level nor did you tell us the engine, tranny etc of your XJ.. I will guess that maybe the wiper blades will swap? Just a guess though.

Most of the frontend components will swap unless the Wrangler is a YJ. Steering and maybe the rear axle. As for the drivetrain, can't be sure unless you list what is in each vehicle.

^ I love their XJ specific catalog. Other than that, I have a post on here asking about grand -> xj parts that has some useful replies on it, and there's a few more if you poke around too.

YJ is coil sprung and SUA as well. Axles won't be a direct bolt in. Axleshafts, knuckles, some steering components will swap over. tranny and transfercase will swap over too.

You know that several different Jeeps wore the Wrangler badge too. Some will swap stuff with XJs and some won't. As so well described by Frank. The TJ will swap more front end stuff than the YJ but you have to be a bit selective. Some were low pinion and some were high pinion. So care must be taken in making blanket statements.

ok, how about a high pinion front end, and the front springs off a ??zj??? give it lift if there off a v8 model..... what about the rear, my springs are shot i think, can i got springs off anything else the will lift it. thx, i think the main thing is i want a good reliable jeep with out spending my life savings, my uncle owns a scrap yard, so anything he has out there is fair game, and he has a few wranglers, looks like88-92 and some grands. thx guys

Wranglers were made with both leaf and coil sprung rear axles. What year(s) are you talking about.
