Keeping Coils Being the line up perfectly with my factory 2wd coil Buckets in my frame..running a 4 link front
Jeep Steering Box

Explorer 8.8 With Disks (already Installed)
1500 Chevy Rear Lift Springs

Swap Begins This Coming Up Weekend..
Looking to get about 5-8 inches of lift is my goal
My Sergeant Builds Jeeps and is the mastermind behind this project all direction will be given from him and i will help perform and to make everything right..im not cutting corners i want this build to be solid and being i don't go offroad much is the reason i chose the dana 30 over the 44 and also my current wheel/tire will work with this axle..

Finally Got Some Progress mr plasma cutter and myself had some fun
i cut off all the bracketry off the axle so i can run leafs..
next weekend i will be grinding down all the welds smooth from the brackets
next weekend i will hopefully be aquiring the leafs, perches and hopefully some leaf mounts
steering is still a question
