I may have spoken too quickly on the driveshaft. I was thinking WJs with the CV shaft up front.

Hi. Dave is right, the suspension geometry will change, and not for it's advantage. Additionally if you put V8 springs in the front and front springs in the back, the springs will be to strong for the weight, and the originally little bit uncomfortable ride, going to be even harder.

Nice, no long arm kit eh. Do u have spacers in the rear with the front coils? What all did u have to do in your front end as for track bars etc or is that all stock still

nope, not yet, too many hobbies and not enough $$$$.

all 4 spacer were removed for the front to rear.

front is sporting a clayton HD track bar and bracket and the 3.5" RE coils, for the rear i am still running the stock bar with a new mount welded to the D44

let me know if there is anything else, good luck!
