Default Serious question about a Wj 2wd beam for a Xj....

Yes its wider & I understand the brackets may need to be cut/rewelded in the correct position & they are 5on5 bolt pattern! I'm thinking I can use the beam for a wider stance & the whole knuckle upgrade would already be done! And then get a rear axle to match, or just keep my c8.25 & run adapters.

How much wider is the Wj axle vs Xj axle? I'm starting my jeepspeed project and I have a complete 2wd beam sitting here, steering & all...yes I'm aware of the wk knuckle upgrade & for crossover, I could just use stock Wj stuff.
And the wider stance would be awsome...kinda poser-ish but it would be cheap and easy!

the the amount of effort it would take to make it work you could just swap it to 4wd
