Ok I have a 79 front Ford D44. Cast radius mounts. Could a bolt on adapter be built to adapt them to the 5 link of the xj? Anyone dont this? Or is the best way to go with this axle is the radius arms?

If you want to run a stock style suspension, get another front axle housing.

There is no reason you couldn't use the end of the stock RA's and weld an LCA mount to them, and then cook up some UCA mounts. The trouble of doing this far outweighs the benefits, and you'd still be stuck with the crappy stock XJ 4-link.
Ghost said:Ummm, last time I check it was a 5 link. So you are also saying that radius arms are better then the stock 5 link?
Lincoln said:Or just retube that housing. There are axles shops retubing for $200-$300 all over.
Full width sucks anyway. If I wanted a full size I would buy one.
