I have read several articles about d30's and didn't see anyone address my question so hopefully someone has an answer. This is not going to be a crazy trail rig and I will probably be running 31s or 33s max. I have blown through 2 sets of stock hubs and 3 cv shafts and just want to get rid of the torsion bar system. I am thinking about a SAS, but I want to avoid as much welding as possible due to not having access to a welder. I was planning on getting a front axle from a jeep and running it with leafs. I would like to go spring over so I know I will have to weld on new perches, but the big question that I have is can I through bolt stock ranger leaf hangers up front or will the geometry of the frame not allow me to or is the axle not wide enough to allow the perches to go out that far?
