OK i have a Wagoneer D44 and AMC 20, looks like i will have alot of trouble adding coils so i will just have to use leafs.
Problem is i have no idea how to measure to get the right size HELP HELP HELP!!!.
all i want is 7" of lift so i can run 35"s.

ya some people will no doubt chime in about the width and the weakness of the AMC 20 but i will say that the rear diff is goin to be fully trussed and braced, as for the width, big deal i will make some aluminum flares that i can remove when off road and maybe add mud flaps.
so far the diffs and the rims (15x8 white spokes) have only costed me $100 + my TTB front end. i will be doing a write up in the projects section when i get a few more parts,
 






Whats this, did i stump all the teckies out there?
Oh also lookin for the center of spring pad to center of spring pad measurement.
 






Why run the AMC 20 when you have a better rear axle already in the 8.8"? If you want to change to a POS 20 to keep the same bolt pattern you are insane.

As for lift...you are going to have to try out several different leafs because there is no way to figure it out without doing it.

Why are you asking about pin measurements.........you have the axles....get out there with a tape measure. :rolleyes:
