alright i got the rearend lifted on my scout but i dont know how to soa the frontend cause the pumkin on the diff wont allow me to put a spring perch whats the best way to do this?????

1) grinder
2) new perch
3) brain

You are missing at least one.

or 12" shackles. or some big lift springs. :)

well i could use a grinder and a perch but considering that its offset and it has galleys for the U-bolts to fit i dont think a conventional perch will work any suggestions besides get a brain lol

I don't know..... search??


might be hard though.... no one has EVER done a SOA on a Scout before...



:shaking:

what are you doing doing a SOA on a D27 :rolleyes:

cant afford a better axle plus im only going with 33s and dont see it being a problem haha but yeah what should i search under????

Don't do an SOA on a D27. The extra stress will cause the shafts, housing, tubes, knuckles, c's, joints and probably the brakes to explode as soon as you put the weight of the vehicle on it.

That's the only advice I have.

is the D27 really that weak :barf: shit what do yall think i should do go with a d44 cause thats all i have laying around:(

I ran a dana 27 sprung over for years with 33" tires. It even had a power lock in the front too....:flipoff2: Beginner steps... 27 to 44 to 60:grinpimp:
Grinder is a must, and different U bolts that will fit.

I wheeled the bejeezus out of my scout with SOA and 31's. Power lock, disc brakes, new U-joints. Held up good. The stub shafts are the same size as stock scout II shafts stubs, just coarse spline. Except mine had no casting on the left side. I just welded the perch on. Yeah, grind a flat spot, drill a hole for the spring center pin, grind the bottom of the tube smooth so the u-bolts fit. Done.

Good luck newb!

I'm calling shenanigans on this guy. The D27 front DOES NOT have the perch cast into the diff.

X2 The stock D27 spring perch is next to the cast center section on the axle tube and uses 2 different size U bolts.


Braaaapp is the noise I make when I fart:laughing:

Now, run along and play in traffic with the other Dumbass Newbies.

How did you ID this front end?

I bet it has a nice little cast in 30 on it instead of a 27. If it does go up and see post #2

Your consdering doig a soa on a Dana 27(or whatever it is you have) When you have a 44 just laying around.



No brainer for most people.

Why? I'd find a Scout 44 & do that...

If not, here is a pic of mine when I got it.
(I never ran these and they are long gone!)

Hell I got an SOA D27 for free in the IH garage section.

No grinder
No new perch
No brainer

I though the same thing, but then I realized...I don't think he has D44, he's just a dumbass and forgot some needed punctuation.

I think he meant: What do y'all think I should do? Go with a D44? [Be]cause [a D27] is all I have laying around.

Hi-9, or Mog's.


Their portal design will allow you to stay SUA and save many of the hassles that come with doing a good SOA, plus they are a little stronger than your D27's and should allow you to run 33's or even 35's with out any real issue or concern.

Then you can use the rig as a tax write-off for plowing your fields :bounce2: :bounce: :bounce2:

If your springs are shot, why throw good money over bad axles....

Find a set of Scout 2 axles or at least some jeep axles.
Hell, people give away AMC20/D30 combos.
Waggy D44s would be even better.

What happened to these?

He could do Mogs, but the pinion is super long, like a foot and a half.

Not so much with a pinion conversion.


And since he would be staying SUA, the driveshaft angles wouldn't be too severe, so he should be fine with short driveshafts.

No problem! Just hook them straight to the transfercase, no need for those pesky driveshafts:laughing: :laughing:
