Comanche rear question
So i just picked up a cherry 88 comanche 4x4 shortbed with the 4.0 w/ 130xxx miles for a steal. I have got a cherokee that has a 4 1/2 inch rubicon express lift, crossover steering, custom long arms, etc. Well the plan is to swap all the front end gear to the comanche. I was wondering if i could just swap the rear end from my cherokee underneath the comanche for my spring over in the rear. Would make it easier since there would be no cutting and welding involved. So pending gear ratios being the same would this work?

Yes the spring perches are mounted about 2 inches further toward the wheels. My comanche had what you want to do to it done by the previous Owner and he did not relocate the perches so the back springs are in a bind.
