IDEAL:
80-91 Grand Wagoneer
Differential Location: Driver side
Lug Pattern: 6-on-5.5
Good For: At about 60 inches wide it's a good streetable swap for all XJs
Pros: Very common in wrecking yards, heavy-duty axle tubes, can be easily converted to 5-on-5.5 or even 8-on-6.5 lug pattern, cheap, good match for Isuzu rear axle
Cons: Avoid vacuum disconnect versions, six-lug pattern, spring-under housing, need to locate and weld on link brackets for XJ applications
Identified By: Stop sign like diff cover, spring-under housing, 60 inches wide
