few months back i got a d30 hp out of a 99 jeep cherokee, 123k miles. 0nly paid 150$ for it so i couldnt turn it down.
i know that the 44 or 60 or whatever the other popular heavier duty axels are a better choice but i dont wheel my truck at all. just a mall crawler or show no go... seriously i know there is a hatred for the d30 like no other but i know it has been done and can be done so that is what i am using.
i am hoping to have someone on here or as many people as possible tell me what i need to get for this to go in.
a list of parts with all details ect. such as brakes,springs,shocks with sizes, any info i would be more than greatful.
just a run down so far. i have a 2006 fx4 level 2. torsion bars are cranked to the max and actually even further due to longer bolts i used. (worst ride i have ever experienced) hence the swap. the rear has factory leaf lift blocks with sport track springs. the truck sits very high and good for the wheels and tires i have.
nitto trail grapplers 295/70/17. no rubbing and no scrubbing. but i want this same ride hight and no bounce so i will be getting the d30 swap underway soon.
any help as far as stuff i need to get please help help help. thanjk you in advance rangerforums.
my main focus now is what steering box do ineed to get and pitman arm and length ect ect. and the brakes.
ready?.....and GO!
