that should read "when the SJ waggie went away" as the xj wagoneer was produced from 1984-2000.

CSP is right though. the late models are centered. he knows alot more about waggy's than i do but i have some experience ripping them apart a using the parts on my cj. i've encountered that POS front end hoping i was getting a 44. now i know better. honestly, i think you should sell your 20 and buy a waggy 44 front with the money. keep that rear 44 you have. like CSP said, plenty of rock crawlers want their jeep like that. here's a pic of mine. it's in build stage and loosely mocked up but it just shows you have a good platform to start a very capable off road machine project. mine has a 10" wheelbase stretch using dakota springs. it was $40. as you can see, i need bigger tires. 38's are on the way. i cut right through one of the cj7 diamond plate corners with the sawzall but you can see in the pic that if you used yj or cj rear springs, diamond plate corners would cover the open space up. then you could mount up some tj flares and cover the tire. my rear 44 is the same as the one on your yj.
