Possibly on the 2wd with spindle and wheel hub yes, but the RAM didnt
incorparate and independent setup for the front end, like the DAK have
always been, until here recently, 2002/03?

I guess a front solid axle swap is in order ...

Anyone ever measure Cherokee axles or the old axles used in comanchees?
Anyone by chance have one that can measuer the backplate and shock mount
positions?

I am considering this route so I dont have to "inbreed" my truck with ferd
stuff... but there is also the possibility of using 94 & up RAMs since
they went to a driverside pumpkin versus the old passenger side pumpkin in
pre 94.
