Axle build, few questions

[WhiteOut]

For my next step I'm looking into swapping an HP30 front out of an XJ since it is a direct fit.  I know I want an axle out of a 95+ so I get the non-vacuum disconnect and 5-297x u-joints.  Will the current driveshaft I have swap right in? I have a double carden shaft with the CV on the tcase side.

Also, is it possible to "simply" swap 4:10 gears from a 2.5L XJ into the HP30 axle or will I need the master install kit?  Would the stock 4:10 gears be the same as the Yukon or Superior 4:10 gears?

Will the current steering components on my ZJ bolt right back onto the HP30?

yes ds will work
yes you need the install kit
yes there their they same in the way your asking
yes steering will work

I believe the change was even earlier like 93 or 94 on the XJs.  Also gears from any YJ or XJ HP 30 will work and the YJ 4.10 gears are a lot more common and if you are swapping gears into a diff, for the $100 you might as well get the master install kit and replace everything

Any pre 95 xj with abs will also have the larger ujoint in the front axle

The rear is getting a trussed D44a with 4:10's, just need to find a junked 96+
