Hey Justin,
Standard Jeep pumpkins (Dana 35, I believe) are pretty wimpy. Most of the
serious off-roaders upgrade to Dana 44 (or, Lord forgive me, F**d rear
ends). As far as width, mounting points, etc. I don't know. You can get a
heck of a lotta info on this subject at the Jeeps Unlimited Forum at the
following address:

Subject: [oletrucks] rear end variety
Has anyone every heard or themselves ever used a jeep rear end? It seems
that they would be narrow, have a pretty decent gear ratio, be rugged, and
might even have a limited slip differential. Me and another hot rod buddy
were discussing this. If it works I'm sure someone has already tried this.
Why wouldn't it work?
