i have a built up jeep yj doner vehicle " complete vehicle" jumped time and suffered catastrophic engine failure. the jeep has nearly no usable body panels due to rust. it isn't worth fixing anymore.

so

i am buying a 2wd ranger from my employer for 1,000 bucks
runs great i drive it every day. its a 2005 with 55,000 miles.... you see my motivation? they are getting all new trucks and offering to let their current drivers buy them.

anyways i read the (read this first before posting) post...
i did as instructed and found the FAQ section to be great.
i found out things i never knew! good stuff!

no surprise the dana 30 is a popular swap judging by the info i saw.

but its all coil and 4/3 link stuff... i need leaf spring info.

any help appreciated.
