SAS- Soft And Sexy

You'll be looking for a driverside drop/ appropriate wms dana 44 or dana 60 front end preferably Kingpin if you want the better, you can find plenty (44) under $1000 real easy and pleanty D60 for above $1000, it all depends on the seller and condition of the axle -Most will say that the axle will need to be ran through- Attached perchs' shaved tubes etc etc.
Im going 78-79 d44 d60 from a ford front end then run some aftermarket radius arms ( http://www.jamesduff.com/eb/suspension.html ) maybe a few selective shocks with long travel air bags...

go d60 front, you won't regret when you start breaking d44 parts.
also, leafs or link/radius or whatever, all of them work. but finding a good axle is hard. 79 f-350 front is the best possible axle for 4x4ing.
I paid 1400 for mine, and they are highly sought after. But sometimes you can find a deal on one, and maybe with the gears you want too. I went with 5.38 gears. Check pirate4x4 out and look in the classifieds for a d60 front.
