Working on buying a blown up 02 liberty. If I can get it accomplished I'm going to get the sky manufacturing kit which uses a 31.5 spring width. I will be going with full width ih scout axles and build a 4 link setup for the rear. Tell me your thoughts and opinions on this. I know I could do coils up front but I'm really a fan of leafsprings. I will be using a custom built set of springs using bravada and s10 springs like I used on my sas s10.

I definitely will. I want to help others in their endeavor with leaf springs

Is the one you are going to build also a crd? or a gasser? any motor swap plans as well or just a junk yard replacement? I've been eyeballing a 4.3L chev swap for some time as soon as the 3.7L goes that's what will be dropped in mine likely a pretty healthy 4.3L tho one of my buddies has a good recipe of parts for a N/A low rpm big torque setup.

Are you going to try SOA or SUA?

It will be soa full width d60 and 14 bolt. Disc brakes. The one I am looking at is crd with bad motor. I have a 4bt in the garage that will probably find a home in it. I will be running 5.13 gears and planning 35X14.50 Baja claws

I looked at the 4BT obtion and 4BD1 as well but both are too tall to fit, you may find more room doing a SOA with the 1 tons. Sounds like it's gonna be big? maybe bigger tires are in store? This one is on 37's viewtopic.php?f=73&t=66919
