Zabeard has an excellent thread on the steering shaft. Don't know if you've seen it yet. Check it out though.

I agree, too skinny, not enough room to fit all the brackets and your springs are arched, it works but its not what you want. which is why i went wider. I dont think D44s with the right wheels are that wide.

 

You said that the D30 was from an XJ right? Is that the Wagoneer?

 

No. XJ is a cherokee. Wagoneers have D44s

 

ya...my trucks not amazingly wide...4inches of backspacing with a 1inch wheel spacer..

 

Oh gotcha. I was wondering why it huge out the sides so much. I was like "I thought he said it was from a Jeep."

I need to borrow someones TJ (97-06 Wrangler) with a D30 and so a rotor to rotor measurement. I want to know how close it would be to my stock IFS width.

 

go ask the folks on pirate for a wms-wms or a stock jeep dana 30. tj dana 30 are mostly lp btw....gay

 

Where did you get your shock hoops? Are they custom made?
Like the way they look
Also, don't remember if I read but what coils did you use?

 

hoops are custom made by a fella that lives near you-- 1.75" DOM

Coils are Rubicon Express 5.5 coils

 

Yup, Zabeard made the hoops. The coils are Rubicon Express 5.5" XJ coils like Evan said.

 

i though those round thingys were leef sprengs

 

no, dey are torshion bars duh

 

yeah i made them, looks like I only live 20 miles from you too. ha

 

roughly ~63 inches.

all the D30s are about the same.

 

hey zabeard, how much would you charge to make a set of those hoops??

 

typically for 100+ shipping
ones like that to hold coils? or ones for coilovers?

 

exactly the same for XJ coils. That not to bad. I might have to think about it. I will let you know

 

sounds good. I put adjusters on the XJ buckets though. And those are 200$ just want you to make sure it wouldnt be included in my 100$ price! lol

 

I'll ask the same question here I asked on another sas build. I'm not sure of where the ranger reads the speed from, but what was done about the wheel speed sensor and the abs sensor? I'm looking to sas the front and rear on my 03 explorer, but this is the only thing keeping me from moving forward

 

depends on the year. 01+ rangers read speed from the Tcase.

 

yea I did a little extensive research and found that. Considering my explorer is a 2wd, I was planning on doing a divorced np205 swap, but it looks like the stock transfer case will mount to the stock trans and i might be able to relocate the wheel speed sensor to it

 

Actually 01+ Rangers read the speed from the transmission. 98=00 Rangers read the speed from the rearend, and pre 98 4x4 reads from the t-case and 4x2 from the transmission.


And I didn't do anything with the ABS, system no longer functions.

 

well my man, i appreciate your help. i'll have to just crawl under my explorer and check things out from there

 

I only know like 2 SAS guys who still have ABS. I guess if you got a D30 from a XJ with ABS you could hook it up but you would have to extend all the wiring.

 

Great read from first to last page, looks awesome.
You don't need an steenking ABS. i think it causes more problems than it solves.
