You could make it work but you better truss that puppy. The zj's have a Dana 44A, which is am aluminum center section. It will twist and warp under stress and destroy carrier bearings. I trussed one and welded it for my buddy and he has never had any problems with it. Also it will have 3:73 gears so plan on regearing if yours are different.

yep, check yours now, stock isn't one ratio. according to jeep you could have 3.07 IIRC,3.54,4.10,4.56. however its pretty typical to have 3.07 with a manual and 4.0L, or 3.55's auto 4.0L, but its only typical, make sure to check before you buy.
tis true. The D44a is a one off diff, only one locker option IIRC... they are expensive and kind of a piece when compared to other axles.
the ZJ axle is not a good choice just for 4 link... the factory brackets make having correct geometry under a XJ difficult and not really worth the work, you will still have to do all the work and be stuck to a factory non-ideal setup. If you have to truss the axle whats the trouble of adding brackets to it? I would truss the D44 and run links with a more ideal geometry(double triangulated 4 link). just my thoughts.

Whats with all the doors and body panels all over that red Jeep?
I like the super old school boat anchor of a non-planetary winch on the front. The one on my FSJ was just like that.

Ya me and chandler got there 2min after she did that. see what happens when she thinks on her own ha ha
and i do miss my 8274, i loved that winch. i've owned 3 of them and not one complaint. only reason i got rid of it is because it wouldn't tuck under the radiator as easy as my xrc8.
plus its not a boat anchor it's a sami motor
