Hi all i have a quick question and any info would be great.

I have a 01 xj sport and i also have a 91 ford f-150 how hard would it be to take the axles off the f-150 and put it under the xj the rear is an 8.8 and i think the front is the same (not sure). what is the mods if any involved and is it worth doing oh and the ford also has 33" BFG that i want on the jeep.
Thanks for the time and the input.

 

i havent done it personally but i know my boss has done it and he said all you need to do is take the to u joints in and get a ford to jeep one but are you swapping out the front and back

 

Hi and thanks for the response yes i want to switch both the front and back, what do u mean take it in to ford and switch the u joints there a conversion for that , and that would be it? again thanks oh would i have to trim the fenders up ?

 

It takes a TON of work. Not just swapping ujoints...

 

Yeah that's it you mite have to either move the for your leafs and coils to get your drive lines the right length but yeah if you take both the ford and the jeep u joints in to the parts store they should be able to give you the ford to jeep set up I would take them both in just so they get the right ones they gave my boss the wrong ones the fist time he went to get them

 

The front is a ttb not a solid axle so it would be a ton of work and be a worse and weaker setup than you currently have. The rear wouldn't be all that hard, new spring perches and shock mounts and shorten the drive shaft and get a bastard u-joint. Keep in mind these are full width axles so you would need a matching front axle.
