I installed a 3" lift this afternoon and noticed there was about a 1" rust hole on the passenger side where the coil spring sits. I was wondering if there was a way to repair this (the is outside almost perfectly inline with the axle. Or if there was a place I could buy one of these ready to weld on. Any suggestions or info would be helpful.

I had the sort of the same problem. My spring perch rusted out and sounded like a bag of bottles in the front end. I ended up replacing the front diff for a hundred and seventy bucks from an auto wrecker, complete with brakes and steering.

You probably are looking at prices on a dana 35 not a dana 30. Front axle on your Jeep is a Dana 30, one from 91 through 99 will be a direct drop in swap. Make sure you get the gear ratio you need to match the rear, or if you want to swap to larger tires, consider picking a pair of axles up with a numerically higher (actually lower) gear ratio.

There's a new assembly for the fronts that has the spring cup and shock mount ready to weld on.

You might want to check that parts jeep as it's probably a disco 30 which means you'd have to search out how to remove the vac disco part of it to lock the axle in place.
