Hi my name is cody and this is my first post. I usually use this forum for research on certain issues but I haven't been able to find much info on swapping a t19 with the twin stick dana 18 into a YJ.
I have an 87 with the 4.2 that is 99% stock right now and I have a friend selling a t19 with the dana 18 attached to it. I can't find any info on this swap because it is passenger drop. He also has axles from a 70 something wagoneer that would work for the passenger drop but I don't know if the swap to passenger drop will require a ton of fabrication.

I was also wondering if the passenger drop rear axle is worth having or if I should just pass it up? The front and rear are dana 44's I believe and he has the springs to go with them. Are both axles and the set of Springs worth $500? I have another friend that will give me an 8.8 for $20 so that is an option for the rear.

He also wants $500 for the t19 with the dana 18 with the twin stick attached to it. Are these worth 500?

The only thing I could find about converting to passenger drop is to only do it if you have an entire donor Chevy to pull the drive train from. Would there be extensive modifications to get the driveline to clear and steering to work with the t19 and dana 18?
I plan on doing a spring over if I were to swap them out.

Any help would be appreciated. I have searched for a while and can't find much in this swap.

Thanks
Cody
