I am doing the Wagoneer Front and a corp 14 bolt in the rear and I was worried about width then I put dually hubs on the SRW14 now my width is 63 front and 62 and 7/8ths in the rear. The hardest part for me so far has been "Which lift" to go with or to make my own. I am making all my axle brackets and so far that has been a piece of cake. Once I decide on the lift I will finish the fron brackets.

Ford 9 out of a full size Lincoln is around 61 WtoW. Some have rear disk, but 5 0n 5. Usually, the rear caliphers are rusted up. They cost $75 each for rebuilt ones. Make sure you get the complete axles, as core cost on the calipher can be very expensive.

57-72 Ford F100 has a 5x5.5 28 spline big bearing 9" that measures 61" WMS to WMS. 68-72 will have the larger brakes.

Isuzu corporate 12 bolt drop-out style 6x5.5 rear NOT DANA:

'92 - '97 Trooper:
width: 61" or 63" wms with factory fender flares
axle tube diameter: 3.5"
brakes: disc w/ internal drum e-brake
ring gear diameter: 8.66"
shaft spline count: 26 spline
shaft diameter: 1.32"
available gear ratios: 4.56, 4.77, 5.38

98+ Trooper:
width: 63" wms to wms
axle tube diameter: 3.5"
brakes: disc w/ internal drum e-brake
ring gear diameter: 9.61"
shaft spline count: 23 spline
shaft diameter: 1.50"
available gear ratios: 4.30

Isuzu corporate axles have a great bang for the buck factor if you ask me.

Also Toyota Tacoma rear axles are a close match for XJ width

For the front, 1980s non-disconnect Wagoneer axles are probably your best choice in a junkyard swap scenario.

I am putting a full width Dana 60 in the rear and probably a HP 44 in the front. The 60 is out of a Dodge and is a direct bolt on for the XJ. I am going to have to weld on some pieces to the front axle to mount it.
