Hell yea, that’s exciting news.

Cant help with the file but I’m interested to see where this goes. What is your end goal? Maybe I could help some sort of way.

A fool and his money are soon parted.

Dont go to any off road park or really popular trails. It will empty your pockets looking at other builds.

15 gallon Aluminum Genright stretch tank with steel skid. Utilizes the factory fuel pump from your factory tank and provides 15 gallons of gas. Bolts in place of your factory fuel tank but allows a 7” stretch with a Dana 35 or Dana 44 and a 6 inch stretch if using a Dana 60. Adds 1” of ground...

This is exactly where you went wrong. ;)

I read 3/4 elliptical and I was off to the races. 😂 IMO, any spring hanger should be hard mounted to the frame or bumper. More so on something driven on the street. They do provide some additional down travel. I just hate the idea of my spring hanger being u-bolted to the frame and having to...

I edited my post to be more clear with less “filler.” Whatever you need to do to get your springs from binding, in a straight line, or to match the center hanger to center hanger measurment would be where I would start. Are you able to do all the fab work yourself? If not I would find someone...

You're best bet may be a Jeep salvage yard like Daveys, Collins Bros, or ebay. https://collinsbrosjeep.com/ https://daveysjeeps.com/

The issue is that a 3/4 spring setup requires links to locate the axle. At that point it would be pointless to not pull the trigger on coilovers. The rear frame has to be removed or pulled in towards the tub to make room for it to all be packaged.

Post some pics of your swap when you get it. I know you're excited to get it.

I believe it’s about an inch of difference with the Dana 44 pinion snout. Best way to do this is not guess or go off forum members input.. Slide the new axle under there and measure for the driveshaft distance required yourself. Be aware the Dana 44 might cause interference with the gas tank...

Most would agree a front axle can be up to 1” wider WMS compared to the rear. Helps with turning radius, among other issues.

The 43” measurment I provided is front driver side front spring hanger to driver side rear frame front spring hanger, if that makes sense. I got that from your question, “how far apart are the spring hangers center to center on the front axle?”

Centerpin measurement should match at all three points. It’s one reason why guys have to outboard their front springs to run the early Chevy Dana Kingpin 60’s.

The build plans have completely changed direction. Leaf springs are no longer being considered for this build. In an effort to get the most wheelbase I can for a tire in the 38-40” range, I won’t be able to get the wheelbase where I want with leafs. Going with 2.0 or 2.5 coilovers and links, I...

Center to center is ~43”. With a straight edge is should be 43 1/8 but I dont have any documentation to back it up. Depending on whos holding the tape it’s going to vary.

YJ springs front and rear are the same. They measure about 46” eye to eye with a centered center pin. Distance between each pin is the same front to rear. In theory you could turn any one of the four springs any direction on either axle and they would be the same. You mentioned width, factory...

Depending on tire size, wheeling location/terrain, I would recommend a re-gear and chromoly shafts.
