You're trying to convert to 4x4? Forget the TTB and get a D60 straight axle. You could probably mod it to run coils, but it would probably take a ton of work. On that note though, it may take a ton of work to make a pair of leafs fit in your 2wd (spring perches etc).

I've got a '88 4wd F350 back home in Oregon... but I'm stationed out here in NC for at least another 2 years.
I was planning on taking everything from the front of my '88 and swapping it in. Or if the frames are the same I could swap everying onto the 4wd frame... It also is a 5-speed truck so I was thinking about doing a 4x4 and manual swap all at once

Wow, seems to be alot more diesel guys on here from Oregon than NC... wish I was back home, probably won't be able to move back for another 6 years if I re-enlist
I'm thinking I'll swap in leaf springs when I'm ready to do the swap

Right now my truck is 2wd... so I'm trying to get parts together to do a 4wd swap. It's my daily driver so I won't mind having the TTB front, I won't be abusing it offroad, just some camping trips, snowboarding, stuff like that. I want 4wd in those kinds of situations, but my '88 F350 is gonna be my offroad rig.
