So I'm amassing the parts to do the front. And due to other issues I'm going to rolling on my wife's 08 JK Sahara wheels for a while (WHOAH BLING BOOIII!). But it'll at least give an idea on how 32's will work while I do the shake down runs ... And get me to work.
So that got me to thinking .... Can I convert to the JK bolt pattern when I swap the WJ knuckles on? The WJ hub should work in the front right?
Then I just have to sort out the rear ... Hoping the rear brakes will swap for disc's and I would just need to deal with the axleshaft differences.
Am I thinking clearly here?
I have to buy new 16" wheels anyway ... And I can convert my trailer and have one bolt pattern in my driveway.
Can it really be that simple?
Will the XJ shaft fit the WJ hub?
If so the front swap should actually be way easier. The rear will be an issue for the previously sated issue ... As long as the backplates will bolt to the C8.25 (what was the stock WJ rear axle?)
