It depends on what you are after, a complete kit or just some wrecking yard pieces.
A good place to start is FTE`s sponsors listed at the top of these pages: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/private.php
That will give you some ideas and you can go from there.

Welcome!
On the MII: Are you looking for cheap or are you looking for worth having? There are dozens of companies offering MII type suspension setups from very cheap (just a weld in crossmember for junkyard suspension parts) that are poor to outright dangerous, thru to completely new and designed from the ground up hub to hub assemblies just weld it in and it's ready to drive. The market is very competitive and you pretty much get what you pay for. The stock front suspension when rebuilt is IMHO far better than the cheap kits that use actual MII parts, and you'll end up paying much more in the end by the time you replace all the inadequate and mismatch parts with ones that really work. On of the best kits on the market I think is the complete unit made by Heidts. It's all highest quality parts that are designed to work properly together.
All the glass except the windshield is flat, so any good autoglass shop can cut you windows in whatever tint you want, or Mid Fifty sells precut glass that is tinted.

Before I went with a Jag setup, I researched MII kits. I saw the best quality in Heidts, TCI, and Chassis Engineering. Heidts and TCI are weld on crossmembers, CE is a bolt on unit. All three make a crossmember specifically for our trucks, not just a fits all. The suspension geometry info in the Heidts catalog is very useful, especialy the section about bumpsteer, and how they correct it. Not every company corrects it properly. I recommend getting their catalog so you know what to look for.

You really need to look at "No Limits" set up, I have T.C.I. and like it but I would go the No limit route the next time.
