Then how do people run charger steel wheels on xjs? Because that happens. ..
very stupidly and dangerously.

Not necessarily as most rotors have 5/8" holes, yet the studs are 1/2" ... I'm going to look into this .... If the rotor hat height is correct it'd save having to drill WJ rotors.
Crap - just noticed they were bigger, damn ... So much for easy answers.
Like I do on my MJ?Then how do people run charger steel wheels on xjs? Because that happens. ..
That's a pretty bold statement.very stupidly and dangerously.
There is 0.7mm difference between the two patterns, this is less that the thickness of the "I" I just put quotes around. It has been done for several years, not nuns or small children have died by the busload yet.That's a pretty bold statement.

As for Blaine, he likely didn't look at them as they weren't around, and if he had he would have come to the same conclusion I did seconds later .... 12.5" is too big for the WJ caliper arrangement.
My front and rear braking system was built around his research and suggestions on other forums.

Go with the 1 ton TRE and flip on 1.5" DOM links!
If you decide to go with the WJ crossover, consider buying the Clayton offroad WJ steering swap links, and source stock WJ rid ends local. The taper on the joint itself is the same as XJ, but the shank is 24mm. Which is larger than the 7/8" shank on 1-ton TRE.
The shank on the TRE's may be 2mm larger than the 7/8" TRE's .... But the taper pin is considerably smaller, so choose accordingly.
