Okay, I have a front d30 from a 93 yj. Can i use this for my swap? As long as I take the existing brackets off and fab on new ones to work with my kj? also where can I find the Nth products? and which kit should I buy for a sfa setup? is it for a tj or lj? and what years will work with some fabing of course.

thanks,
wes

It does have the vacum disconect. So basicly having this axle is worthless..

Isn't the front D30 YJ a passenger drop or was that only the CJ.

Get a HP30 from a late model XJ,the D30's in TJ's and YJ's are all low pinions anyway and rather weak.The HP30's gear design,even though smaller then a D44's are about equal in strength due to the reverse cut of the HP30's gears.

You can use the YJ's vacu-30 but if not using the vacu disconnect I believe you will need the one piece axles to replace the 2 piece one.

Yeah I guess it doesn't exactly say Not to use that axle in that link but considering it steers the OP completely Away from it, my guess is don't use it. :wink:

Seriously though, sell the YJ axle to a YJ owner and grab a HPD30 or similar from an XJ.
