Open the tailgate and throw it in.What's the easiest way to put a jeep front solid axle in.?
It's not even as strong as the D35. It's going backwards in almost every way imaginable.Easiest way I have Seen is Using A Hp D30 With Leaf Springs , That being said , A D30 Is about the Same Strength as a D35 .
Using their SAS Ranger track bar bracket, and their revised coil buckets that accept EB coils in addition to regular Ranger coils, their James Duff fullsize long arms, it is NEARLY bolt on.Open the tailgate and throw it in.
James Duff was making a bolt in kit but I don't see it on their website, you might call them and see what became of it.

This is the only person that has answered your question. Look at his thread, it is a good and easy to understand build.Take a look at my build thread (link in sig) and see what it took me to put a D30 under my ranger.

And if you are gana use a HP Dana 30 DONT USE LEAF SPRINGS!! The axles are already set up for coil springs and so is your truck. It would just make for more fabrication you have to do if you use leaf springs.
But James Duff does make a kit for the dana 44.
Follow this link if you wana go that route.

But you really need to do lots of research before you start.
You will also need to do some fabrication on just about every route but this one.

It is complete bolt on. He is a member I think but you will have to find him.
^^^ Ditto on PlumCrazy…It seems as if more and more people are asking the same question lately. "How do I SAS my truck?" Its a question that does not have a single answer. There are lots of ways to do it. Generally, IMO, the person asking the question has not done any research, nor do they want to. When the generic How do I SAS my truck question pops up, I ask myself what do they actually need a SAS for anyway? Are they ever going to do swap or will they lose interest and never post again? 99% of the time I think people just see a lot of SAS trucks on the site and think its only way to get some big ole mud tires on their truck. There are reasons some SAS and some dont.
End Rant.

, not how to install a D30.What's the easiest way to put a jeep front solid axle in.?
Why not use leaf springs? I have them on mine. They work fine. Granted it is a CAD axle minus the CAD part of it and a full axle. Good enough for what I do with it. Not all Dana 30 axles are setup as coil srung axles. They went coils after 97 and were Leafs from 95 and down. Yeah the truck is set up as coils but it isn't hard to make it leafs either.And if you are gana use a HP Dana 30 DONT USE LEAF SPRINGS!! The axles are already set up for coil springs and so is your truck.
