Here's a thought. The zj's are coil sprung at both ends so attachments should be usable on a tj. Many of the zj's have 3;73 gears and are also rear disk. There might be an issue with front driveshafts due to the short pinion on the tj's but not a big problem. I'll have to throw someone under a zj with a measuring tape.

you'd be better off by dropping a ford 8.8 find the right one and you'll get disk brakes&a 4:10 gear set
