are they bolt in? what do i need to do it? what year grands work? same ball joints? will the milemarker/warn hub conversion still work in them?
RyanM said:Balljoints are same, so they do "bolt" in. 99-01 work for sure. I have the Warn hub kit with mine. Using Ford Explorer Sport Trac 2000 front 4wd rotors, with .18" washers in between the knuckle and caliper bracket.
I still had to machine the inside of the rotor to 3.65..... whatever it is.... to get the hub to fit correctly. The bolt pattern is same. Teves calipers will work, those who have the Akebonas (sp?) say you need 16" rims or grinding to fit 15's.
You will also need the .25" spacer on the knuckle to index the balljoint and ujoint alignment.(JKS makes em, weld on) Also, you need to raise the axle TB bracket. The JKS OAB works well here as well.

XJSpencer said:It must be my Durango steering gear then. I didn't loose any steering radius when I put it in though. The XJ box must have more stroke.
cal said:That could do it. Some of the Durango boxes have tighter steering stops than others. Good to know a WJ pitman will regain that swing. Is it the same drop?
cal said:Wow thats a pretty massive difference.
