I don't have a write up, but you need the hubs, drag link, center link, and brakes from a wj, and its all bolt in.

I know its a little thicker, but I don't have a wj at the shop right now to measure.

But I would just use the wj knuckles and brakes and make my own links

Ya down the road thats what I'll do, but after buying (5) used 35x12.5 MTRs, 4.56 gears F&R, 8.25 29 spline, & rear Yukon shafts... The budget is getting getting slim!!!

Thanks for all the info!!! I'll get the parts & play it by ear... haha

Maybe a wright up is in order!
