So I started my swap at the end of may. I am now ready to weld the mounts on! I got my axle out of a 85 grand wagoneer, it's the 6 lug I'm currently tryin to figure out how to mount the steering box..

Sounds similar to my build. I used a 44 from an 88 grand wagoneer. I ended up with super duty steering components so unfortunately I can't really offer help with the pitman arm/ steering box mounting. I look forward to the build pics.
I've decided to go with the waggy steering box, but I can't figure out an easy way to mount it, I'm havin problems drilling the holes in the right spot
Well I should have some pics up tonight, the spring mounts are all finished and welded on the truck, all that is left is mounting the steering, shock mounts and putting some longer shackles, anybody know what the best leaf springs to use are mine seem kind of soft... And also I'm thinking of going with spartan or lock rite lockers anybody know anything abut though's??
I think I'm going to go with those
Here's my parts list
1985 Grand Wagoneer Dana 44 donor
Jeep YJ leaf springs I have the front and rear packs combined into 2 packs
I have lug converters in the back 5 on 4.5 to 6 on 5.5
I'm wanting to keep the springs under, cause I'm trying to keep a good center of gravity
