I found some d44's out of a k5 blazer for next to nothing. Should I snag them?

If you can weld, and you're comfortable with relocating all the mounting brackets on a full width axle to bolt into an XJ, then hell yeah!

I'm a novice welder but my uncle lives on my property and he's been a welder for over 25 years. What all would come in to play with swapping these in? As in steering, obviously shock mounts etc...

shock mounts, spring mounts, brake lines, custom steering setup, and maybe even custom driveshafts. Is that front D44 left hand drop like our cherokees?

full size chevy front axle is pass. drop, wont work unless you swap the diff to the other side!
