Front ends

I would like to do a front suspension swap on a 95 F250, to some thing that would rider better, or be a better set up. I plan on building a late forties, or early fifties cabover using the F250 chassis. What about air ride?
I don't plan on using it for heavy hauling. Max load would be about 6,000 lbs. Any sugestions?

What's your budget and timeframe? That will dictate everything.

Yep it's gets a little expensive. I have bilt about 6 street rods so I understand you pay a lot for some of the conversions. I want to use quality equipment, but I would also like to keep the expense down if I can. I don't have a real budget,but I'm not just going to start throwing money at it. I was wondering about a truck arm rear suspension in the rear. I have never used one.
