hi, XJ fans, i have front passenger side waggy 44 wt that is going under my XJ 4.0l with ax-15 and d300 on 33''. Is there any issues with this setup(driveshaft clearance, steering)?
Thanks for any help.
 
Exhaust is going to be in your way.
 
You may also run into driveshaft to starter clearance issues with this setup. The WT 44 is still narrower than a full width chevy or dodge axle and thus the driveline will be further inboard. The d300 is also not very wide, so the t-case side of the driveshaft will be further inboard as well.

It's anecdotal, but representative of possible problems and the solution... a friend of mine ran a slightly narrowed chevy Dana 60 and a D300 in a 4.0L YJ and had to run a 2-piece front driveshaft for clearance from the starter.
 
Sell the pass drop 44 and the d300 and buy a drivers drop 44.
