Would i be a traitor if i used the axles from a jeep . I know a v8 swap is ok (actually its the best) but the dana 28 sucks and its the cheapest way i have of a straight axle conversion (jeep axles are free from body shop) my basic plan is all time no $$ by using the axles and springs from a f150 and fabin up my 4 link rear and 3link front from steel at work let me know if im crazy or sane

which jeep? I though about doing this swap to once a long time ago. Hay as long as your having fun it doesnt matter. If it is a newer jeep with the crappy dana 35 rear i wouldnt touch it they suck big time and i would just stick with the 7.5 or 8.8 which ever you got.

its a 78 that got rolled by a drunk it was considered totaled by ins, so i got the whole thing for scrap ($51.63-tub was glass so no weight) the frame is twisted motor smashed tran and case split but axles and cage are usable
