Ok i am pretty new to 4x4's so please bear with me. I have a 2001 Ford Ranger and i want to put a Dana 30 in the front end. my reason behind this is that i will be able to lift it as much as i want within reason and have a better truck off road, and still have a daily driver. I know this can be done but the biggest problem i am facing is a way to keep my ABS i live in Seattle and with all the rain we have and this being my DD i really want to keep the ABS in the front. With the Dana 30 i would have more choices for front LS or lockers and it would have the same bolt patern as my current front end. Right now i have for tires 33x12.5.r15 BFG Mud's but would prob go up to 35's and regear it. Im looking for some information on the ABS thing and what jeeps or what ever i should look at to see about there current ABS and Dana frontend.

Thank you now for all the Info.

Bawahahahahahahaha :laughing:

Dana 30

Bawahahahahahahaha :laughing:

:flipoff2:

i think a D44 front would be a better choice. I think you will be glad after the fact, based on the increased strenght of a D44 over a D30.

IMHO, a D44 under a "mini-truck", if built right, could be extremly reliable. the ABS is beyond me, tho...

p.s. i know i caint speel:D

oh....BTW








welcome n00b:flipoff2:

No way keep that Dana 30 plan, then put some 44 inch tires on that bad boy. Oh hell yeah. And don't let anyone tell yeah that you can't stack 2 coil springs on top of each other to get the lift height you want. :laughing:

Listen to Zakk, Dana 44 is waaaaay better. If you want to keep the ABS the keep the IFS and lift that.
