SAS using dana 30 from jeep yj

[doallthingswell]

i have a built up jeep yj doner vehicle " complete vehicle" jumped time and suffered catastrophic engine failure. the jeep has nearly no usable body panels due to rust. it isn't worth fixing anymore.

so

i am buying a 2wd ranger from my employer for 1,000 bucks
runs great i drive it every day. its a 2005 with 55,000 miles.... you see my motivation? they are getting all new trucks and offering to let their current drivers buy them.

anyways i read the (read this first before posting) post...
i did as instructed and found the FAQ section to be great.
i found out things i never knew! good stuff!

no surprise the dana 30 is a popular swap judging by the info i saw.

but its all coil and 4/3 link stuff... i need leaf spring info.

any help appreciated.

Yup, the D30 is a good axle to swap for original width and small tires on a budget.

Did you check out the Tech Library?

YEP thats the article i read, all coil info... i need info for a leaf spring set up.

just pics for an idea of how to get close is fine....

want to make sure i get the drive line angle right without jacking up my steering.

ive seen pics on line but no good info...

looking for good measurements for a cross member if its needed, and all that.

i intend to use the jeep springs and shackles, i will fab hangers.

the jeep YJ springs are newish and are 2.5 inch lift, i want to run 33's at the largest.
