I didn't know that two wheel drive Cherokees existed as the local dealers past and present may have never sold one. A car salesman would probably be run out of town if he tried to sell a two wheel drive Jeep of any kind except an old postal jeep in this town.

On the drag link angle, The four wheel drive rigs seem to have a fairly steep drag link angle and don't have a lot of issues as far as I know of.
Are you planning on running the Jeep steering box along with the axle? There may be dropped pitman arms already available through the 4X4 market for those. If my manager comes though where I am at again this afternoon I'll try to remember to ask him as he has a jacked up crawler Cherokee that has all the "good" parts on it. A Google search says that Dropped Pitman arms for a Jeep Cherokee steering box are pretty easy to get. https://www.google.com/search?q=drop...ient=firefox-a
Checking O'Reilly's website shows that the same box that goes on an S-10 fits an 84 Jeep Cherokee.

As far as the panhard rod. that can be added later if needed. It would be a bit harder to install but it's most likely going to be a bolt on setup anyhow.
