Solid axle swap?
Now I'm seeing y guys on here say to stay away from jeep dana 30s.which is what I may be getting. My front frame rails r 31 inches wide at outside and front. It does look like the rail get about an inch wider on each side. My buddy said his coil seats r 36.5 in center to center. If anyone has had this issue, was it just that the coil tilt outward or do they hit and rub frame?

My asked my boss his opinion on this, he said the leafs tougher ride is most noticed on the trails not on the roads in his opinion. If the time come and I put a coil on the axle and its hitting frame, I might buy those leafs from my buddy. They r jeep 4 in lift leafs. And yes they r the more economical way to go and less brackets. Lol, I could do what some guys do, build it the easy way then alter it later when the hardest part is done. I've read where some guys have steering issues also. Thanks for ur input

Ok so does it matter the type of jeep the 30 comes out of, my buddies is a 96 ah and he measured his frame rails at 32 in....mine r 31.5..makes me think it's got a chance of fitting. Or maybe not? Maybe this is a dumb question, do they make the differentials narrower or wider depending on the vehicle they will go in? Or are all 30s the same dimension regardless
