For the price's Ive seen lately I'd grab a Rubi D44 and do a custom radius arm setup.

ya... i just went to a salvage yard and they wanted $1,750 for a dana 44 out of a rubicon. to me, thats alot of money. for that price you can do an entire sas using a dana 30 out of an xj and still have money for gas.

id say do the xj dana 30. get some long(y link) arms, get a mid 80 toyota steering box(maybe necessary only on the ifs ranger) and use the same coil mounts that are on the axle. theres more to it but those are the main concerns to think before you get everything pieced together. just take your time in picking the right parts(coil springs, trackbar w/correct length) . if craigslist has taken off in you local area, just buy stuff there.

thanks that is the kind or response i was looking for

if u ever plan on MAYBE gettin 35's under the truck then u definatly want togo with atleast the TTB d35 or a SA D44, the d30 from the jeeps breaks with stock tires all the time, anything bigger and ur asking for trouble, also the truck weighs mroe then a jeep so more stress on the axle.....just a swap that makes absolutly no sense to me

i have the ttb d35. i had a cherokee on 32 with with the d30 and never broke it or had a problem with it and if i put a d30 under it if i want to i could swap a rubi d44 under it when i find one.

+1, ill have the setup all ready so if i find the d30 to be too weak, just slap the rubi in in a matter of a couple of hours.

 

[94prerunner]

let me know if you do find it to be too weak

 

[JFA_Spyderman]

One major problem with the D30 is that a ranger is much heavier than a jeep, the added weight causes many of the problems associated with their bad rep. Good luck! Let us know what you find.

 

[94prerunner]

if you take a way the weight i lost when i put the fiberglass on it is probably about the same weight

hoping to have most of the parts soon every thing but the axle any ways. im looking for one that the guy dont want $400 all the other ones are like $150 but by time i find them they are gone

are u having problems wiht the TTB d35?? ive never actually broken a axle with the d35 runnign tires up to 35's with no issues. but it might just be me, i dont lock the front axle so that could be a issue in play, i just think swapping in a d30 inplace of a ttb d35 is a gian downgrade, just my thoughts take it for what its worth
