Default YJ Dana 30 fit in XJ?

Hey guys,

Just have a quick question, I searched around but could never find an answer. Im needing a D30 front for my XJ, and I found a cheap one out of a YJ. So basically my question is, will a YJ Dana 30 front axle fit in a XJ? I'm not sure what length YJ axles are.

Thanks!

they are identical axles, you will have to cut off the leaf spring mounts and weld on coil buckets and control arm mounts. your better off trying to find a front axle front axle from a tj because it will bolt right in
