need some help with front end

I am looking for a little help. I have a 2006 SD with 6.0 PS. I want to rebuild the front end with heavy duty parts. Does any one have any suggestions.

Thats a pretty heavy duty truck already, and the OEM parts are about as heavy duty as it get without a ton of modification.
What are you hoping to improve, that the engineers might have missed?
Is your front end worn out already, how many miles?

It has 65k on it and I just want to get that tight feeling again. Maybe I will just rebuild with OEM parts.

Put a sterling class 8 front end under it!! that's about as heavy duty as you can
get.

Sterling class 8? You have my attention. Is that a joke?

Yeah but it would be possible if you wanted to do the work, Head to the big truck
junkyard and get the big a$$ front axle and just figure a way to put juice brakes
and your set!! May have to get different back spacing or narrow the axle.
