To anyone in here running a D30 front axle out of a Jeep, what kind of angles are your coil springs at and what kind of clearance do you have between the spring and the frame?
I'm using Ballistic Fabrication adjustable buckets on my 98 (using a frame from a 2000 not that it changes anything) and am worried about clearance. I'm using a Hp XJ axle and rough country long arms for a TJ. I've notched the frame a good bit to allow more clearance but in order to get both springs more parallel I would have to put the spring pretty far inword using the stock Jeep spring perch. Would having a slight inward angle at the bottom (axle side) of the springs have a significant negative effect?
While I won't be daily driving the Explorer I would like to use it comfortably on the highway and what not.
