    what year is it? if its an '80 or newer you could probly get a ttb front end and it should be a bolt in setup, or you could get a d44 solid from a '79 or older f150 and the coil springs are damn near bolt on, idk about your area but i've been having a hard time tracking down a d44 solid around here for a decent price, usually if they have one they want like $800 as is and that means its gonna nead to be rebuilt
