    You could stick those axles under yours if your looking to convert to 4wd.

    i got i basically down ive been talking to A7X about an SAS so i got the idea i just need to get some shackles and shock towers made cause this f150 already has a 8.8 in the rear.

    BUT SIDE NOTE
    can i got get a entire front end from another f150 like this at a yard and will it BOLT right in cause i want a cheap and easy wheeler that i can get out ASAP but if anyone knows where i can get some shackles and shackle mounts, and shock towers made ill be all over this swap QUICK
