As long as the width of the axle assembly matches your Jeep, and the gear ratios are the same , front and rear, then check the width between the springs, the length of the springs, the mounting of them, and, if all that matches up, you might carry it off! And, make sure the front and rear wheels and tires match! If you get different wheel or tire sizes, or different gear ratios, you'll end up with a bucking bronco--er--Jeep! Also, if your Jeep is an old model, be very careful on how large a tire you use on it!! Large tires look "smart" but they can and will make the Jeep unstable on a tight turn! I've seen some that flipped so fast, the people didn't have time to react, and used their heads for a roll bar! Speaking of roll bars--those factory installed roll bars were called "Squash Bars", by folks in the know! Have the bar reinforced on the corners if you're going to use it-- otherwise have a good one made for it! (This from an old Jeep body man, who has seen people lose their heads-literally!) Rustyj
