I have a conversion kit for a 97 f-150. Not going to say it is complete, but at least most everything is there. Have a stack of parts that were purchased to do a leaf spring conversion on a 97 front end. I'm not sure what all is required for this conversion, so I'm not sure what all is there or missing. Wondering if someone can tell me what all should be there vs. what all I have and what a kit like this should sell for. Got the truck halfway through a lift project, but the front hadn't been started yet. Lots of fabrication parts, brackets, new leaf springs, shackles, shock mounts, bushings, etc. I plan to take the rear end back to stock as it's been fitted with much larger springs. I'll take some pics and post as quick as I can, but really need to figure out what to do with all this stuff.

 

Just tossing my two cents as this has been something i've been wanting to do myself, but I'm not 100% sure the front can be converted since it's IFS. Only way I could see it being done with a straight axle like a D40 or D60 and there's a company(can't think of it off the top of my head) that sells the complete kit with the axel, leaf springs, mounting hardware, etc.. if i remember it I'll post it.

 

This was intended to be a solid axle conversion with dana 60 rear and dana 44 front, to the best of my knowledge.

 

These truck drive very smooth with the IFS... I would not put the solid axle without a VERY GOOD REASON.

 

My mistake. Thread came off as attempting to convert IFS to something using the IFS. Anyhow, this site might help you so you know what other kits have in them so you know if you need anything. Bolt In Axles - Complete Axle Assemblies - Axle Housings
