no, do coils.. it's actually probably easier. lol. they xj axle is a coiled axled, your b2 is a coiled rig.. why would you change that? your call, that's just my opinion.
95-99 or 2000 xj... in either 2000 or 2001 they went back to a low pinion axle. the HP is stronger. the problem is, most xj's in that year range are 3.55 gears
remember there are some d30 swaps on here on first gens. maverick was doing one on his b2. escort's first one was a 2nd gen ranger. kroussinoffroad's first sas on his mazda. dangerranger. all w/ coils. most of them used the y-link long arms like the rusty's or ironman fab's
