do a search on google for Bronco solid axle swap. you will find a forum that stricly talks about this and can give you very accurate price brake downs and whats involved. i think having a shop do it would be very expensive so if you could do the work yourself it will save ya. but i dont know your level of skill.

the d44 doesnt come for that price. if you want that figure another 500-1000 bucks. someone on this site did the jbg kit because he felt wrecking yard parts were crap. by the time he was done he spent close to 4k on the front end alone. if he took our advice and used parts from a wrecking yard etc.. it would have been half that cost easy.

A guy on that other site just got mad at me becouse I said that happens here.

He got all angry and said no it doesnt, then asked me to remove my posts from his thread.

So acording to him that doesnt happen here.
