Ive had this truck for a long time, the run down 84 broncoII carb 2.8 4spd w/ od manual, manual hubs and tcase, 165k miles bought it from the orig owner....

the game plans..
Solid axle swap.....most likely a jeep dana 30 since a wagony d44 is soo hard to come by.. no coils for me leaf springs, custom brackets built by me, shackle in the back, just dont know wat type of springs yet(jeep or yota?).. 8.8" rear, 33x12.5r15 pro comps,4-5" lift

but what should i do about the engine... i need to be reiable, the tranny shifts great very lil slop...should swap in something else, or just dura spark and put a bigger 2bbl carb and replace the gaskets

at the end it needs to be daily drivable, cruise at 75-80mph down the highway, and wheelin every weekend....oh yea im most likely gonna sell my ranger when its completely done

maybe mill the hads and run propane, and rear ranger mix of leafs up front like cheap thrills b2, his held up pretty good with a stockish weight b2 truck unlike my ext cab
 
toyota rears do amazing things up front, but thats only ant 0.7 or 0.8 mph, not so much the 70 or 80. unless your use to it.. its actaully more of a problem around town rather than on the free way. yj springs are a good choice, plenty of flex and stability
