it looks like im going to use a 62'' wms d44s under the zuk. i will have to move the leaf springs out on the front. anyone have any ideas of how to build some stout spring hangers that will outboard the springs?,




p.s.,,,,,i have a front and rear yota axle i dont need anymore,,any offers???

Are the yota's stock? Locked? Geared?

i beleive their stock,,4.10s. never used them

You swapped toy axles for d44's ? :eek:

yup,,,,,,i have 4.56s,and lockers,and a ton of good stuff for d44 axles. and plus,,i have a 4.3

Use some angle steel for the rear mounts to get away from the frame and when u extend the front do the same just be creative.
I know somebody posted a pic of it up here once before but I cant remember offhand who.....:confused:

What are those axles out of?

Paul

78 cherokee,. i think i will use 4inx3/8 angle iron.i cut pieces 17 in.long. then i notched out for the body mount. so this piece will bolt through the frame,,and it will have a plate on the backside of the frame

Please post some pics when your done! I'll be doing my swap soon and need the visual...

That would be a wagoneer, no? :D

Hint: If you're not using them, post the springs in the for sale forum. I'm sure they'll go pretty quick.

Use some coils.....Then you only have to worry about i spring mount on the frame!!!

You make it sound so simple. :D

Leaf spring suspension: 6 mount points (4 frame, 2 axle)

Radius arm (Bronco) coil susp: 10 mount points (2 per arm, 2 per coil, 1 each end of track bar or 3rd link)

4-link coil susp: 14 points (2 per arm x 4, track bar, springs) or 12 points if you angle the upper links inward and eliminate the track bar)

3-link with V or Y arm: 11 points

get that thing wide enough and you loose being able to squeeze through ,one of the better sammy traits ..........one mans misconception?.................................... ....:D how wide will that be with wheels?

i had a 2door cherokee that was factory with a 360,3sp,and a dana 20 case. dual d44s. i have no idea why its got a offset rear axle when the tcase output is centered. anyway,the front cherokee springs are identical to the 5 leaf wrangler pack.i would like coils,,but my resources and fab skills are not that great,,so i think i will stick to leaf springs. i did get my 3/8 makita drill so hot today it caught on fire:D :D

In the past I have used 3x3x.25" square tubing. Just cut the edge off one side and you can taper the ends to look like factory spring hangers if you like. Beefier than stock.
