YJ Tie Rod End Thread Taper Like XJ?

I'm building up a 2wd XJ on a serious budget and the whole front end is a bit loose (ball joints). I found a complete front lower tie rod for super cheap (under $20). I'm wondering if I can use these ends in an XJ.

Anyone know the difference? I'm assuming the YJ tie rod is shorter overall but if the ends have the same thread pitch and taper I might be able to use them.
 
the yj's tie rod goes from knuckle to knuckle and the drag link goes from pitman arm to tierod were as the xj's draglink goes from pitman arm to knuckle and the tierod goes from knuckle to draglink so you have to swap the whole assembly as for fitment of the tre's i know that a 91 xj and a 93 yj are different but thats all.
