What do I need to do to change my D30 from a vacuum assist to a non vacuum assist?

For some reason 95 YJ comes to mind for a D30 CAD with 297s.
One of the reasons to go non-disco front axles is that they have the larger 297 type joints. I have been wheeling XJ's for 13 years and have never seen the actual disconnect break, only the ujoint ears or right behind. I used to run a disco axle shaft from a SWB Jeep that had the 297 axles. Don't remember the year they came on but I am sure someone will chime in. Then you can keep the old small ujoint axle as a spare.
The easiest way to make it totally non-disco is to simply put washers on the shift fork shaft to force it to be engaged all the time.
I'll have to research replacing the axle tube seals. Thanx for the info, the washer idea is the way i'm going till I figure this out I think. Thanx again guys.
