ZJ's are a easy swap just get a set of shafts from any other D30.
The WJ is another story cause it's a wider track width..

No not the drive shafts the actual axle shafts at least that is what I got outnof a post I read on jeepforum.... But that is a pretty big turn off to me if the cent d30 has cv style axle shafts.... I know the front driveshaft has razeppa joints but the d shaft swap is 400 from Iron rock offroad. I'm also looking at their 6.5in long Arm lift! It looks like a very nice kit. And r yall sure that all wj are full time 4x4? I would prefer selectable. And a blend door if what changes which veNts ur a/c or heat comes out of. And they said if I goes out it costs over a grand to fix but only the limited have this problem. From what I have read the best to get is a Laredo with a 4.7 v8 that has select
trac.
trac.

4x4 Wj's were all full time... select-trac, quadra-trac or quadra-drive.
Quadra-drive is the most sophisticated, using hydraulic pumps to activate the "limited slips" in both diff's and in the t-case. If a wheel is slipping it pressurizes the pump, forcing power to the wheel that is not slipping... same goes for front axle to rear axle... it can send all the power to 1 wheel when required.
Unlike a limited slip, you do not apply brake to help, the more it slips the more power it will transfer.
It does it in nano-seconds and is seamless / unnoticeable.
The axle gearing is 3.73, but to be honest, even in stock build, the 4.7 would do better with 4.10's.
The I6 in the WJ is a dog (my opinion/experience, living in a city with fast moving traffic)... merging onto the freeway is an exercise of floor it and hope for the best.
The D44 out back is an aluminum housing.
The vehicle in stock build is up handy to 4500lbs... if considering 33's and true off road use (armor/chassis reinforcing) plan on getting rid of the D30 and D44.
My opinion... if planning on building at WJ for true off road use, plan on D44 front and 9" rear, and plan on swapping the t-case for a 231/300/205/atlas whatever. So, in theory, it doesn’t matter what the axles/t-case are as you’ll be swapping them anyways.
The WJ is a great vehicle in stock trim, or mild build... otherwise you'd best have a large budget to make one wheel hard.
