Good question, I don't know, I asked a friend who has a deeper background. Perhaps some enlightenment coming.

ok, there are a few write-ups here on the forum about the WJ knuckle and caliper swap, this requires you to use the WJ brakes as well, but they are an upgraded 2 piston type so that is good, it also converts your steering to crossover steering, idk if you are ready for all that

Yes, its a budget high steer that also gets you better brakes. The wj runs a d30 so its all a direct bolt in. But you will also need a new center link and drag link. The wj links should work.

Oh, and that style steering is also an improvement, and allows for even simpler alignments

It's a great upgrade.
