    a little pricey, but when you figure in your solid axle, assuming you would swap front and rear, you're lookin at $500-$1000 depending on what kinda deal you can get, and at least another $500+ for leafs, or coils, shock hoops, shocks, etc.

    i keep looking into it for mine, i can do 3 routes, just dont what yet

    well what i'm sayin is youd have to get a matching 6 lug axle for the front otherwise you'd have to have two different bolt pattern wheels on the front and rear

    I'd find a wrecked 92-97 F250 and get the front and rear axles

    The easiest way to run for the angle of the front drivetrain would be a HP D44.. In my opinion if the money is not a worry, i wish when i went the route of through SD axles under my truck..

    Is that what you're running? I heard the SD axles made it easier to work around trouble codes and abs since they have the sensors and everything already in them.
    What would you think about running a reversed 9" ?

    well to be honest when doing my swap wasnt worried about the codes and abs ha, those lights are stuck on.. but with the SD axles you be running a 60 up front and be stronger plus like stated above the lug pattern problem will be eliminated.. and you dont want spacers, have had problems with those just lately broke one in half including every wheel stud on my left front.. Also I plan on throwing SD down the road thinking about trying to engine swap down the road and thats another plus of the bigger and stronger axles, are you thinking doing leafs.. coils.. any plan yet or still just sitting on which axles?
