If your Wagoneer is a 74+ then yes.

Take some measurments from the donor rig, cut your rearward front hangers off, weld them in the correct location, grind the bushings of the chero springs to fit your '70 hangers a bit, buy new u-bolts, probably buy brake lines as your '70 ones are probably rotted.
Are you sure you want to do that much work for a D27 front axle?

Iam going with a D44 and 14bolt:thumbsup: my font d side leaf look shot so I am looking at going cheep...

Ah, well good deal.
Add in a newer pitman arm and drag link (DPA and all new stuff if you go SOA) then (yours will not work) hopefully you can get them from the donor rig.
You will need rear brake lines/mods maybe, and your master cyl will not be up to the task of stopping those axles.
Keep us posted and you know, people here like pic's, so post them up.

You can try to use your the main leaf, and rebuild the spring packs from the later springs??

I did on my '73....used the '73 main leaf and others from a '79 spring pack.
Also stuffed an add-a-leaf in there, netted me ~4" of lift from the saggy stock '73 front springs.
