spring perches are in the wrong location...you will need to move them regardless (I forget if they're farther out or in, but they're not correct)

what stock axle do you have?

 

if it is a dana 35 then the upgrade is worth it. (8.25 is SOOO much more durable)

I'm sure it is a 35 its a 4cy 2wd. But I'm not really planning a big wheeler. I just figured of it was as esay as bolting the diff in i would do it. I'm probably just gonna do spacers and shackles.

Gearing can be more important to 4 bangers than axle strength. Is your truck a 4speed manual, 5 speed manual or auto?

5speed stick

Then you should have 4.10 gears. If that's true, stick with it. :thumbsup:

It's not just the perches, the shock mounts are different too. On the XJ one side is in front of the axle, and the other in back of it. On the MJ both are in back.

Actually, longbeds are in front of the axle. Shortbeds are behind :D

Really? Hmm. Didn't know that. Probably since I haven't spent much time underneath a longbed 8)

I owned my LB for a couple years before I noticed it. :roll:
