Leaf Spring Solid Axle Swap

Ive searched on here for a while, but couldnt find anything. Anyone make solid axle kits for leaf springs. Ive seen the fabritech, but its for coils and Ive heard they suck. Also anyone know what axles would fit the best. Ive been thinking about throwin a D-60 in the front, and just trying to do some research before I decide. Any older axle line up with the newer frame widths?
