For that matter (shameless XJ plug) why start with IFS to begin with?

Do you need the open bed? For the work and money you'll have in it, you could build a helluvan XJ.

Hell, search hard enough, and there are still decent 'Manches out there!

Building on this info, why not buy a comanche??? They DO have a frame from the cab back unlike a cherokee if that is a worry to you. Already a solid axle D30 under the front and an 8.8 for the rear is just a junkyard away. 95% of ann parts are compatible with XJs; so parts are cheap and plentiful.
