What will it take to bolt up this modded 9"?

Found a fullwidth F150 9" BB, 4.56s, spool, discs, 31 spliner and shaved housing.

Anyways it was bolted into an early Bronco. I am wondering what all will I need to do/buy to get it in my XJ? I assume the perches will need to be moved and need to move the shock mounts. I was just wondering if I'll need a new driveshaft or not? (RE 4.5" and 8.25 right now) I have a nice HAD shaft so maybe they can lengthen it? Also what about the yoke? will it bolt up tp my driveshaft okay?

I pretty much am wondering about all the small stuff.

I used a full width 9" in mine didn't have to move the perches (they were about 1" wider total 1/2" per side). The driveshaft bolted up but was a little short. Also you will need to make shock mounts.

Thanks, this is a fullwidth, but its setup for ealry bronco.
 
When I swapped from an 8.25 to my 9".....I needed to have my driveshaft lengthened quite a bit. It cost me $175 dollars....definitely not a cost I was expecting when I started the swap.

Thanks for the look out, I'll have to put that on the list.
