XJ44 87-89 mostly found in 87s. I find most of them to have np242s so look in those esspically.

1980-1991 Grand waggy- Not exactly bolt in, but the leaf perches are the exact width. They are a bit wider and a diff bolt pattern and what not.

only if it's an xj waggy.

fsj waggy is full width, and most likely an off-set rear pumpkin. this is ok, not desirable, but will work with some fabbing of brackets etc.
but then you would need a full width front axle to match, which are usually passenger side drop and you'll need to do some removing and fabbing new front brackets too.
not to mention, these are 5 on 5.5, so you'd need new rims. also you'd prolly need to do a brake master upgrade to power the larger brakes.

at that point, i'd just grab a set of ford full size axles.

No full size waggys are only like an inch or two wider than XJ 44s, that you can make up with adapter in the front. the leaf perchs are the exact width as an XJ. Just change your shock mounts and thats not hard. If you get a 1980+ they are centered rear pumpkins.
