i think CalMini has a kit for a solid axle swap if you want to do it like that

my buddy is gettin a hard body soon and im tryin to get him to do the same thing

the link to cal mini's nissan related suspension kits

one of the main problems is it looks like the nissan has a driver side front axle while the toyota front axle is passenger.

with the rear axle of the nissian it would be better to run a d44 front and than you wont have to run spacers

he is talking about wheel spacers, front and rear width are usually different...



good luck on 89 cherokee axles...... i guess its cool, they just aren't known for their strength
