I'm not trying to flame you in anyway but....why?.You could use that 3g's for some pretty sick mods to your engine...but thats just me

 

Yea man you can do it, i found a solid axle that has very little miles on it from a guy that can't sell it, everyone around me is hurting right now for money, so hes selling me the whole front end of a 2004 ram 2500 for $750, includes everything I need for the whole setup. The guy im buying it through actually knows a shop that has done this swap before and from what I know they are a really good shop. Their labor is going to be $1200-1500 for taking my current lift off and putting the lift on and the swap.

The lift I'm buying is the Top Guns Custom 8" suspension through them. But before I buy that lift is it worth my money?

I didn't find jack crap at any junkyards though, thats why I have to keep my back axle for right now.

 

Because I can go bigger, me selling my rig and getting a 2500 with a lift will cost more also.

 

There's only two ways you can go with these rigs it seems, either you go low and fast or you just jack that ****er up and make it look mean as hell. Either way works for me because its cool both ways. just my opinion though

 

No problem on the flame. I use my truck alot off road. Even a Dana 44 would be much stronger than the ifs and would handle the bigger tires and abuse off road does to your truck.

I can still beef the engine later.

Common sense would say, just buy a truck thats already got the solid front axle but at this point, the truck is very near paid off and I wouldn't want to go out and finance another one or buy an older one that could have any number of future repairs. Both scenarios would easily eclipse the 3 grand outlay for a front end swap.
