Procomp makes a great IFS kit;everything that was needed was there and fit.I would guess the straight axel kit that you require would be the same.My second choice would be skyjacker. Groundhawg

Misfit,
You cant go wrong with Superlift, they make very a very good set up for full size trucks. They are also one of the few companies that address the steep angle of the drag link, with a system other than just a drop down pitman arm. My F250 system(6" superlift, 2" of reverse shackle), with the Superrunner steering kit, handles great tracks very well, and has held up under some gruelling mud bogg conditions, with almost no sag. I did bust off the idler arm bracket durring a race,(lack of good sense or throttle control on my part) and it resulted in the steering linkage ripping off my steeering stabilizers, smashing my power steering lines, and shattered the U joint at the driver side knuckle. I contacted Superlift and 4 wheel parts wholesalers and they replaced everything including labor. It had been installed for about 8 months when it happened, and I wasnt completely up front with them about the circumstances that lead to the failure, however they didnt give me any problems at all concerning the replacement of all of the damaged parts, and the labor. Later,
Jeff
