solid axle swap
 
I have the ifs front end on my 95 f250. Was wondering what would be the best solid axle for a swap and how hard it would it be.

Dana 60, its easy takes me about 5 hours to do one.

Where would you recomend to get one? How hard is it to do brakes and stering?

I got mine from a junk yard. They are easy. The whole swap only take a few hours

What vehicles are the 60's typically on? And i have a lift. Will that bring up any complications? Thanks by the way.

get one from a 91-97 F350, how big of lift?

Its 3-4" it was on when i got the truck so i dont know for shure.

you wont be able to use those springs, you could do something like an RSK and stock F350 springs up front to give you about the same height you have now

blakec 10-13-2014 07:54 PM

Sorry but what is an rsk? And i will need the springs off the f350 to complete the swap?

Reverse shackle kit. Or you can buy 4" front leaf springs for a f350. Either way the springs you have now will not work unless you want the front to be about 4" higher then it is now.
