You mean universal joints, like Dana axles? Anything is possible, but you'll have to Install the entire axle not just the shafts and joints.

And as I understand it, you would need to install 2 UJs to replace one CV.

You'll need open knuckles, to suit the U joints. Just fitting them in the jimny knucke makes little sense.

You don't need 2 U joints to replace on CV. Take a look here:

This is from a Dana 60 front axle. As you can see it's completely different to the CV joint. Which is why it is way easier to install a complete front axle with open knuckles/U-joints.

A Dana 30 front axle from a Jeep should be fairly easy to find, this also has U-joints.
