[updated:LAST EDITED ON 03-Jan-03 AT 12:06 PM (EST)]I have a 86 F150 4wd with the ifs front. I want to convert to straight axle but i dont know what problems i would face or how to do the swap correctly. What would i need and what would be the cheapest way. Im also looking for a Dana 60 front axle for the swap. What other axles would be worth putting under the front. I was also wondering if i could get some coils really cheap. I want to put 6 inches of lift but would like to find some cheap used springs. Please help quick. I am also looking for a 86 300 I6 starter that works.
