should i do a SOA conversion or just lift it? im reading alot of mixed reviews on it because it makes it kinda unsafe and ride like crap afterwards

wtf did i build and i drove it from florida to illinios it is not unsafe just ditch the cj springs for some stock yj springs or even some waggy springs bring it to me and i will hook you up it will take about a month to build and year for testing

your crazy. but yeah i forgot u did yours. maybe i'll find somebody around who can do it but as of right now idk what im gonna do. wanna get it mechanically sound first  ;D but i did read about the YJ springs which i did plan on doing if i do it. i honestly think im going to do the lift and tires last.

you still living in Illinois? maybe you should come stop by one day. as of right now im gonna get it mechanically sound. replacing all the vacuum lines next weekend followed by a new radiator, hoses, and thermostat. then possibly the electrical nightmare. i don't have your number anymore though so text me sometime so we can argue about this more efficiently.

belts replaced, and vacuum lines all done. moving onto the trans next weekend. think either the clutch is gone or the linkage isn't connected. it grinds when i push the clutch pedal in even when in neutral so im not sure.

got the skid plate/ cross member off today because i couldn't resist anymore  ;D when you push the clutch in i can see the linkage move where it goes into the transmission. it grinds when you push it in even when in neutral. any ideas?

progress so far



i have no idea wtf was in the back but it was rubbery and looked melted on. about 3/4 of it scrapped out so far. a hammer and chisel worked great  ;D



took off the skid plate/ cross member. after this i realized that this is the only way the transmission/ transfer case is held up so i put a jack underneath it to support it instead of the engine mounts.





was hoping one of you guys could tell me what type of rear axle this is? i can't find any markings on either axles, transfer case, or transmission.





this is the front axle



also if you guys look at the way my leaf springs sit they seem to sag off to the passenger side. also if you look closely i don't have a track bar. anybody know if i should? i don't see a mounting bracket anywhere for it.



rear view of my transfer case



front view



probably the best picture i can get of my transmission. doubt it will help

From the pics I can tell you that you have a stock D30 front axle and an AMC 20 in the rear. If you have the 4 spd manual trans it is probably the T4 since that is the most common, but some did come with a T176, which has a little lower first gear ratio.
