IFS to a solid front end
im in the process of doing a front end swap, ive done my rear end, stock ford rear end to a 14 bolt full size axle, im wondering what the best way to do the front would be, ie. making the leaf brackets, tricks to getting it centered, etc. things to watch out for..

This is in a 1991 F250?
The F250 already has leaf springs in the front, all you need to do is drop the Dana 50 TTB axle and bolt in a Dana 60 solid axle from an F350.
Just measure proper location (front-back) so your stock D shaft will fit

From: Lillington, NC
I completed a solid front axle swap on my 94' F-150 last summer. It was from a Dana 44 from a 79' Bronco. I maintained the coil over to maintain the softer ride. Push our trucks already have the coil buckets. I had a 4" lift already and used the drop down radius arm brackets, made a frame/track bar mount, made a custom track bar. I complete the entire swap with a complete Dana 44 rebuild under $1500. I ordered a 79' Bronco lift from Superlift and it fit everything fine. My best friends throughout this venture was the guys at Broncograveyard.com. Great customer service and lots of parts for every situation. Let me know if you need more info. I will be posting is all soon.
