[QUOTE="jeepermc, post: 1361482, member: 17364"] For what you'll be able to do with this rig, pick up a CJ dana 30 and bolt it in..72-about 82/83..My guess is that it will have 3.73's in the rear which is a common ratio. It also has a 44 with one piece axleshafts..Worth keeping IMO. It will never be a hardcore wheeler unless you swap bodies down the road...Which is a good possibility seeing as a CJ tub from 53-75 will practically bolt onto the frame and give you a better foundation than an actual CJ frame. You can keep the same fenders/hood grill combo from the postal. You used to be able to get a lift spring for the rear from Gitz (Sp?) Spring in Auburn, but I don't know if they are still making those.. In the front we used a set of prototype flattie rear springs that someone had passed onto me that didn't quite fit anything but they worked well on the postal...Alot of guys have done a spring over with CJ7 rear springs in the front but that will involve a little addition to the front of the frasme to make work because of length. Most do a shackle reversal at the same time. The possibilities are endless depending on how far you want to take it as a postal and you have tons of JEEP options if you want to ditch the postal body down the road... [/QUOTE]
