Well after much hard pondering, I've finnaly figured out what I want to do, and what parts i'll be using. If money wasnt an issue, this would be about a month project but with funds not so plentiful, it has to be done in sections, which is ok, cause its winter and what else is there to do.
With that being said, i'm picking up a 1978 F250 with dana 60's front and rear. Also it has a 4speed, np205 and a 351w. So i'm going full width axles on my 1994 ranger. Its an extended cab 4x4 ranger, nothing special except for the 6inches I have on her now, but thats gettin old considering i'm the smallest of the group now.
I'm mechanical inclinded, which includes welding, but not that well in that area, but i'll be having some help from a few machine shop workers.
My first of many questions is;
In order to mount the axles to the truck, i'm using leaf springs for a yj btw, but do I move the perches on the axle or do I set up a cross member to where ever the spring is going to be. Most likely since the axles are full width, they are not gonna line right up. Of course their not. So how do I make this work. So far this is about the only stump i've come to. Thanks for any input and advice from here on out guys!!!!
