I'm flirting with the thought of a Dana 30 swap. I have a few of questions:
1). Is there a Jeep D-30 comes with manual hubs, or are they all vacuum operated? What does it take to convert to manual hubs? What years of axles work best?
2). I was thinking lifting a D-30 would be cheaper than a TTB D-35. Would this be true? I'm only looking to lift it 4" and want extended radius arms. But I also thought I heard that you need to lift it at least 6" for clearance issues.
3). Is the steering simular to a Ranger?
I am basically weighing cost of modifying/ maintaining, and simplicity of the axle and components (brakes, bearings, steering, etc.)
