The XJ axle perches are too wide for the MJ. You need to weld new perches on at 42" width for the MJ. The XJ is 44". I just tossed an 8 1/4 under my MJ, hence the promptness of the axle perches.

What XJ axle are you putting into your MJ? Don't bother with a D35 if you are changing anyway go with D44 or Chrysler 8.25 or Ford 8.8, in that order.

i don't have a mj yet. i have an xj for sale now with a locked 8.25 in it. but if i can't find a buyer or a trade i'm considering finding a mj body to swap all of my stuff into.

Don't forget the whole SUA (spring-under axle) of the MJ and SOA (spring-over axle) of the XJ....ren said:
