To those with Early Bronco dana 30's up front

How many of yous have done it? Will the strength suffice just fine when combined with our punny powerplants? I'm getting one in two weeks that is absolutley flawless with 4:10's and it has been rebuilt (including the drum brakes), it comes with the eb radius arms, steering, springs, track bar and bracket and the guy is throwing in 4 james duff shocks that are brand new. I'm giving him 200 bucks for all of this. Worth it?

I plan on running it in my 84 2.8l bII, trail rig only and it will sit on 36" hummer tires. I may weld the spider gears up front to lock it on the cheap, keep it open or run a mini spool if they make one for the 30.

What year axle? I found a Dana44 out of an early bronco I switched the outer knuckels off an '79 1/2 ton so I had disc brakes. It's not all hooked up yet but I'm getting there.

The dana 30 axle is from a 1970 EB. I'll also be throwing in a small bearing 9" at the same time.
