Default will tj axle bolt into a cherokee

I was curious if a wrecked rubicon axle will bolt into a cherokee or if the spring perches and steering and shock mounts would need to be relocated.

Isnt the rubicon on coils front and rear? if so then no you will need to weld on leaf spring perches on the rear axle. for the front i believe they ar much narrower than a cherokee axle. not sure do a little research measure take pics etc. good luck man

caliper mounts may be the only difference.
also, you would need a compressor and switch to use the locker.

oh, and rubicon has 4.10's
