How does this sound?

Yesterday I traded a set of 351w heads, a 2wd C6 tranny, and a set of 351w exhaust manifolds for a set of Skyjacker 4/6 inch TTB drop brackets, BDS 4 inch springs and a set of blocks for 1980-96 F150/ Bronco. I think I got a sweet deal, what do you guys think?

not too bad but for those parts i prolly would've found a straight axle and notg have to worry about ttb drop brackets. just taller springs. and why couldn't you get rear springs instead of blocks?

good deal!

I have to say the IFS is starting to grow on me. I know both set ups ride very nice, I have to my IFS hasn't given me any problems (knock on wood). I like how the TTB works on uneven terrain. I won't be using the blocks in the rear because I already have 2 inch blocks plus the factory block and an Add A Leaf. If I do the 4 inch lift in the front, my truck will sit level. I have been concidering maybe later on in the future I might go up to a 6 inch lift. If I do that I will replace the factory leaf packs with springs arched for a 6 inch lift. Also I plan on installing dual shocks and traction bars.

that sure is a good deal, the heads and manifolds are common and cheap to find and the tranny is worth a bit but its more common then one thinks, so i would say you got a pretty good deal.
