Starting a SFA project

That I'm unsure of but I would assume that it doesn't matter. But you know what they say when you assume things it makes an "***" of yo"u" and "me"

Another great site for sfa is http://s10extremist.org/ Tons of info.
there is a bolt in front crossmember https://www.4wdfactory.com/store/pro...sion-%284wd%29 there will still be welding involved so get comfortable with it, or find someone that knows what there doing.
Alot of ppl also use a front mount hitch with leaf perches welded on. Keep researching it though. theres alot of different ways and alot to consider. I plan on starting mine in the spring time.

Bronco, TJ, YJ axles if you dont have fender flairs
XJ, ZJ, Wagoneer axles if you have flairs...ie ZR2's
89-94 Astro van steering box ( this swings the pitman arm 180 degrees, facing front instead of towards the rear )
Pitman arm...
Dana 44 axles need a wagoneer pitman arm
Dana 30 needs TJ/YJ/XJ/ZJ pitman arm
Wagoneer front leafs or rancho part #44044 are leafs of choice
I used super lift 6" lift shocks.
Someone posted a bolt in kit for around $450. Dont remember the name, but that would be the way to go for the front axle. I got a guy on www.ovo.ca to build me all my brackets.
I made my front cross member out of 3'x2"x4"x3/16" steel tubing.
Rear brake hose off a 1996 Dakota, Front hoses off a 1995 Chevy C1500
Rear drive shaft I took a1991 Blazer, and had it shortened to fit. Front drive shaft fromt a 4l auto XJ. That requires the t-case 27 spline front output yoke if you go with a NP-231 swap.
Do not go ubolt eliminators in the front unless you want 8" of lift.
Anymore questions, pm, email preluderacing909 (at) hotmail.com

I'm on my way. I've got the 44044 springs, Sky X member, Astro van box. This will go good with my built Toy axles, and marlin crawler dual ultimate Toy t cases. Thanks for the info. Jim
