I would like to swap my front axle for a solid one where I can have it setup with leaf springs in the front like some Wranglers, and I want to keep it 4WD. Would it work to simply swap the axle with one from one of those Jeeps? Also I hear about all these different Dana 44 and Dana 60 axles, but what's the difference? Any ideas on where I can find out about those too? The problem is I did a SOA in the back to get 5.5", then added a TT and 31s, but the front is still a few inches lower than the rear. Thanks for the help.
