WJ conversion rebuild

In the process of rebuilding all the stuff I put on the YJ waaaaaaay back in my California days. New bearings for the Warn hubs, new TRE's, and new ball joints (offset to fix camber).
I thought I'd seen something a little while ago about using WJ ball joints for this now instead of XJ/TJ/YJ stuff but couldn't find it again.
So what's the scoop?

We've discovered that the lower balljoint on the WJ is the same except the pin has a different taper.

Since they are about the same price, if you decide to do it correctly, there's not a price penalty for doing so.
