So I'm just starting to get into this ranger building thing. And being new to it all, i'm looking for a little guidance. I'm half capable and well stocked with tools. I'm currently working on an expo 8.8 swap (which is a pretty straightforward swap so far). My next project, SAS. I've been doing some reading, and searching other forum members build threads. Where should i start?
I think i want to do a Jeep Dana 35 axle. from what i understand that'll be the easiest/cheapest to swap? plus its the closest width to the 8.8 and parts are common/dirt cheap. Correct me if i'm wrong. I'm looking to keep some of my street-ability as its mostly a weekend trail-whore and DD.
then i'm looking at this for a 3 link setup... http://www.ruffstuffspecialties.com/catalog/3LINK-COILB.html Will that work? and if so what options would i need? a lot of the options are foreign language to me... panhard? wtf is a panhard (if someone could school me that'd be great)
btw: i've got a 99 x-cab ranger 4x4 w/ a 4.0V6
mostly looking at my options. open to suggestions, trying to get my facts straight before i blow the next 5 weeks of paychecks on this stuff. that'd be a huge waste of beer money if i screw up.
