3" front stretch might be tough. The steering already sits pretty close to the front pumpkin. You might be able to do it if you are going OTK with your steering.

i am getting 2" from the waggy springs and another inch from the perches i looked at it today it will be close the waggy axle is stock OTK and i am changing that to to a high steer with the knuckle form bj's offroad it is actually cheaper than setting up the the flat top chevy knuckles i have been looking and and with the tie rod i am making out of 1.5" dom and hiems i will have no issues or concerns about damaging my tie rod so i really don't need high steer unless i wanted to go behind the axle with my steering so with all that i am going to start grinding in my front driver side perch tomorrow and if i need ti i will move the steering box forward 1 or 2 inches
i am shooting for a 99" wb with no comp cut and a low cog running 38's so i am looking for flat thin leaf packs stock packs suck so as soon as i can pony up the cash for the gen right gas tank or make my own custom fuel cell i will re work the rear and stretch it with another set of waggy front springs
the other things i have concidered doing is frenching the spring hangers (with this i loose the inch of lift i got from the boddy lift and i am most likly going to relocate my front shackle to the front frame horn and incorperate a recovery point/ front bumper into it some how but all that will com in a few days (i need to cinvince the welder it is worth it i just split 40' of square tube and bumper making materal with him so i might be easy)
the goals for this week are front perches installed dana 300 install, body lift, mml, tranny crossmember and a flat skid hopfully the dana 300 is happening wednesday pending the arrival of the adaptor from novak here is a pic of how it sits right now
this is the d44 in the rear soa on a stock 28" tire and my old lift on 33'' tire in the front
on another note i want 5- 15x10 turbine wheels does any one know where i can find some

i got the body lift installed to day only brokr one bolt the one right behind the drivers front wheel tomorrow i will get the tires mounted in the rear and motor mounts
gearhead1985B:
got the motor mounts in
before
after
if your motor mounts are shot get the brown dog motor mounts my jeep vibrates less and shifts smoother
today in the rain i just installed the grand wagoneer front springs sua on the d30 gave the front a 2" front strech so with modified perches a 3" strech will not be a problem
thai is a 2" front strech and a 1" bl added
the front 44 is not preped yet i still need to weld on perches so i am going to start tuesday hopefully this week end i will be done with the axle swap
now i need some 84-88 toyota pick up rear springs for a 4" rear strech and then a custom gas tank a buddy told me about a welding shop that will weld me up what i want out of aluminum so i am talking to them monday or tuesday
also yesterday i started the flipping of my d300 and found i bad beering so the rebuld kit was ordered and i am going to have that going in at the same time
and a safety note a stock front yj ds will not suport a 2" wb strech and about 2.5" of lift don't ask i need custom drive shafts
gearhead1985B:
well front is done i can clear 40's with 5" of up travel i am on the process now trying to lower my heep at least 2" here are a few pics the cj is my buddys cj8 with a 4" spring and 3" body on 35's
this thing is a pita to get into my leg don't go that high and i got pulled over just so the cop could look at my lift and suspension i am too tall it looks like i will be frenching the spring hangers
