what ive heard that the AW4 transmission wont fit into wrangler without movin the engine more forward in the engineroom, and lowerin the transmission and puttin some 2degree shift on the rearaxle towards the transfergear...and at that point rear driveshaft(cvjoint) with sye-kit might turn without "grinding".
thats what i saw on one such project.
ie, the aw4 is much longer gearbox than the tf909 that is originally in wrangler yj

ok, thats only what i saw and heard about the project they did here, the rear driveshafts angle went so steep that it started...damn dunno all the tech words in english, well started grinding against the joints specially when flexin the suspension, ie the driveshaft didnt rotate freely...
and that was with 3inch lift, So it may not prove difficulties in stock suspension...
