I would think its pretty simple. Cut off and re mount the existing spring perches and new control arm brackets. Maybe some new driveshafts too.

Buy new brackets, weld them on and check fitment of everything, may need to change drive shaft lengths. If you dont have a sye you should get one

Either custom shafts, or just a 1310-1330 crossover u joint to use your same shafts..you will just have to re mount the rear perches, the front end is another kind of monster.. you gotta figure out a track bar, probably coil mounts, shock location, steering, control arms..all that. All depends on what your 44 is out of as far as how it is all set up, there are a buncha different ways to do it, just to some research and find out! Good luck!

My advice would be to check out many many builds for ideas/information.
Here and on Pirate 4x4's XJ section.
That and be prepared to spend some ducats.

okay, here's what I see.
Cast Wedges....Ewwwwwww.

Not the best option, even at $200 for the pair.

You're gonna have to run ford radius arms since you have a 44 with cast wedges.

Nothing wrong with radius arms, mine do great..sure it's not 4 link but they are dirt simple.. Anyway, broncograveyard.com will have basically all you need. Pm me if you want to know how to modify stock radius arms to make them bulletproof and flexy.
