- Use what you got.. not what you want
Just finishing up a dana 44 swap
On my 93. Not gonna say this is the way to do it but it is how I did it. Hopefully somebody finds some of this useful or at least interesting.
Front suspension:
Spring under
5" bds lift springs for front on a YJ
Factory ranger shackles
Rear shocks for 02 rav4
Spring bracket from slag factory
Rear suspension:
Factory but with lift shackles and add a leafs.
Front axle is the wide track waggy 44
Wide track is not ideal but it was only 50$ everything knuckle out is from a 90 dodge w150
This is a great way to get flat top 5x5.5
Bought the truck for the knuckles and made money parting it out.
Detroit locker got it used its a 3 series so I had to run thick cut gears to get to 4.56
High steer arms from src precision products
I think they have been closed for many years now but i had them around.
One ton tre ends
Rear axle
Jeep 8.25 from 97 xj with disc brakes from first gen liberty. To do the brake swap you will need wheel studs for a tj front axle. Why? It was already geared 4.56 and had it lying around. Not ideal but use what you got.
