Default Matching front bolt pattern to Ford 8.8

I am contemplating a Ford 8.8 swap out back if I can find the later style wish discs, LSD, and 4.10 gears.

But how would we go about matching the front bolt pattern? Would the front knuckle assemblies from a JK Dana 30 attach to our XJ Dana 30?

Is there another (non Spacer/adapter) method I am not aware of?

I love the way this looks

erm.... most 8.8's are 5 on 4 1/2. If you want to run JK wheels you will need to adapt to 5 on 5.

The 8.8 out of the ford explorer 96-01 i believe are the years is the one you want.Any other 8.8 will be to wide and different bolt pattern.And ford uses 5x5.5 on trucks only a very few ford cars used 5x5.Now a lot of gm stuff is 5x5 and some jeeps.
