Google is your friend

YJs are pretty simple, basically just new spring perches, but other things to consider at brakelines, lug pattern, steering geometry, etc.  Lots of people have swapped in waggy axles to YJs

these axles are from a Scout-the perches measure the same disatnce as the jeep-I know I still hafta change the perches tho-whats the geomentry involved-a couple of plumb bobs?-also is there any way that I can temp. use the U bolts to secure the axles-check the angles and then get them welded?-I know I have seen a tech on how to do this....but I cannot find it
