I have a 1988 wrangler YJ with the BA 10 trans.and 258 motor ,i would like to swap in a AX15 from a 1991 Cherokee with a 4.0 i`m getting the trans.,transfer case and bell housing will this setup work?
 

Yes but the Cherokee clocks the transfer case a little lower than the Wrangler, meaning the front output of the transfer case hangs closer to the ground in the Cherokee. This may cause clearance issues between your transfer case and crossmember.

The ouput housing of the AX15 can be redrilled to clock the transfer case up higher, the metal was originally put there to be drilled for a XJ or YJ setup.

The following pics are of an AW4 but the principle is the same:
