All of this is for an 89, 4.0, AW4, 231, 4 door XJ.
I have been doing some research and talking to people who have done the swap. Have a few areas asking Qs yet though.
Plan is to get axles from a 76-77 Ford 1/2ton. If I can't find one of those years are the drum brake years suitable with spindle swaps? Is a 9" from the same years of truck a good one to go with?
Planning on running skyjacker 8" coils and leafs or are other better (I think I might be able to get a used set of 8" leafs)?
Will need a sye of some type and a driveshaft. Any rocomendations?
Need some LONG brake lines I am still looking for at a decent price.
The one I am modeling off if is running standard ford knuckles with a Skyjacker drop pitman arm, wouldn't it be better to go with flattops and highsteer?
For front susp I am planning on fabbing a longarm setup with RE joints on the main arms and Heims or rubber bushings on the upper bracing arm(s).
For tires I am thinking 36x12.50 TSLs
