yj steering conversion?

i was looking through the books at work (advance auto) and stumbled into an interesting piece of info. a 95 (the year i looked up, not exactily sure what all years it will work w/) wrangler uses an inverted Y steering, as apposed to the XJ's inverted T design (hope i got those two right, i can never remember the difference, makes selling ford parts a bitch). but since all the axle companys i've seen say that they use the same width front alxe's, could i use that wrangler setup on my XJ?

I actually have the set up setting next to my house and was going to try and install it. They look to be the same width when I held it up to the stock stuff. I am going full width now so I am not going to mess with it on my XJ. I might try it on the TJ though. Let me know what you find out if you try it.

XJ=inverted Y,YJ=inverted T.It will fit but it has its own issues!

does the t system's issues outweigh its advantages over the y?

Well you dont gain any ground clearance and you might get a dead spot in the steering due to the "rolling" effect.

probably a newbie question, but what do you mean by "roll effect"?

i get a roll effect with mine stock, lol.. a big dead spot in the steering, basicaly your steering reaction time is twice as bad

what would make that worse in the yj set up as opposed to the stock setup?
