Alright guys, I'm hoping with everyone's experience put together here I can come to a solution. I have a 1989 extended cab with a 3.0, it's a 2wd truck that I fully restored and swapped around 5 or so years ago. I acquired a 1996 jeep grand cherokee with the dana 30. Around 2 years ago I lifted and leveled my ranger 2 inches just to make the stance of the truck much better, but I'm tired of killing my tires because of the twin I beam suspension being so difficult to align and nobody can understand how the adjustable cams are supposed to be set at the alignment shops. I have done some research and found that I guess there is an issue with cross member clearance with the dana 30 and I believe I can use the radius arm mounts from a 78-79 bronco and that's about all I know. The truck will never be used off road or beat, I just want 4x4 for the peace of mind and would prefer not to lift the truck any more than 3" from stock height. I have a fully equipped shop, can fabricate about anything I would need to, and to top it off i am a mechanical engineer so this should be a piece of cake right? Lol. What should I be expecting for all of this such as steering wise and track bar mounts and clearance issues? Any input from you guys is much appreciated, like I said, I dont want an off road truck that'll be lifted crazy, just something that will get me out of wet grass on a slight incline haha.
