Solid Axle Swap Kits

Hey guys, I am considering putting a solid axle from a 79' F150 under my 90' F150. To those of you who have done it, are there kits that require no welding and fully bolt on, and are there kits that keep the truck near its factory ride height, I am not looking to lift it. And can I keep my coil springs and shocks. Thank you all.

Installing a Dana 44 solid axle mandates a lift.
