wagoneer D44 front questions

Capt. Nemo said:

I would like to put a waggy 44 front in my '88 XJ. It is a non-vac disco D44 front. I'm fairly certain I can just take off the chrome caps on the front and install manual locking hubs?

My only other concern is the bracketry for the track bar, control arms, and spring cups. Any simple ideas for these? I can weld and can fab a little bit, and I would rather do this myself rather than buy some pre-made stuff from a company (they seem rather pricey to me...) any suggestions? Any areas of concern?

Thanks, the pics look good. Are the spring perches on the waggy axle the same distance apart as the coil buckets on the D30?

What did you do for the track bar mount?
