I'm building up my YJ and have afew questions i can't really find the answers to.
I'm just got a dodge full width front 44, Its 8 lug, flat top knuckle, and has the perch cast into the housing. and a 8 lug 60 in the rear.
Questions are
will i need to out board the springs to fit the axles? I measured and it looks like the perches are a couple inches off?
I plan on running waggoneer stock springs in the rear which would put the rear back 2 1/2 inches right?
and if i use stock waggy springs in the front it will move it 2 1/2 inches fowards right?
What will i need for steering? I have the flat top knuckles on the 44 but want to keep it cheap as possible but not so much as the steering would suck just cause its cheap. Will moving the axle forward mess with the linkage? i think i can use a waggy arm and a one inch steped arm but not sure.
what kind of TRE's did you use?
i don;t plan on doing a shackle reversal or buggy leaf.
thanks fot any info you can give me, i've read a ton of posts but just can't figure some of this stuff out
