Anything can be fabbed up to anything with enough time, skill, and money.
Why not look into a rear coil or coilover conversion kit? Less time and the kit we have put together takes out alot of the guess work.

GC isnt coilover but just coils. No reason besides the time and headache that it might cause. I dont see how you plan on removing the mounts and stuff in one piece.
Its not like a framed rig where you can cut out the whole rear frame section from a 4runner and weld it on a Toy.
Not only that but how high of a lift are you gonna be running? Anything over 4" and you should probably do long arms anyways. Long arms apply to the back of a GC just like the front.

hold plz.
are you talking about taking the factory four link + panhard off of a ZJ and mounting it to the rear of a XJ? thats not even worth the brain waves thinking of.

either way, to make it work would require more time than its worth, and you are left with a stock WJ suspension, which WJ guys even upgrade from.
