Does not appear so.

More Information for ACDELCO 46D2117A - TJ ball joint lower.

More Information for ACDELCO 46D2292A - JK ball joint lower.

They look very similar though, you'd have to do a side by side to be sure. I'm sure there's a TJ somewhere you can park next to and have a look. Also, The TJ's have a dana 35 do they not?

The D35 is the rear axle. The TJ is running a D30 front axle.

As for doing a side by side comparison you will need a digital micrometer to measure the width and length.
