Volvo's rear axle had to be a front axle, after the pinion is on the right side of the Volvo's front axle.http://www.pbase.com/gaverot/image/1...3/original.jpg

Volvo's rear axle shortened down.

lookin good plans for the rear?

First, it is to place it on the leaf springs and try so everything is okay.
After that, it will be a 4link.

SO sweet man, I have wheeled with some guys on Unimogs on Wranglers, but never an XJ.. Great build!
