anything will work if you make it work. no, it will not bolt in without fabbing mounts, etc. the front 44 is passenger side drop on a scout btw, if thats what youre talking about.

if you want close to XJ width, find a front 44 out of a jeep wagoneer. im running a full width 44 out of a F250 and if you run wheels with the right amount of offest, you can get fairly close to stock width. on H2 wheels im really not that wide, my 12.50s still are about 1/4 of the way under the front fenders.

its not easy, but its not that you cant do it. the only way to bolt one in is to buy one from a dealer online like (like G2, Currie, or Dynatrac) or find a TJ rubicon 44, or get one from another truck, and make it work- by stripping off old brackets, building/buying new ones, measuring, and welding them on. youll also need to match the bolt pattern to your rear axle, and/or get new wheels, get new steering, possibly a driveshaft..
