What Items needed?
What items do i need to do a solid axle swap on my 92 f150. Has anyone done one on a 92-96 f150? If so can someone post or pm me the list of items needed to do this conversion.
Thank you very much. I figure that if i am going to make my truck 4wd might as well make it worth my while. Also what type of lift kit works with a Solid axle since the ones for my year truck wouldnt work for the f150 version

Karl (kjett) has done a SAS on a 96 F150. Real bad truck but its slow.
Youll need a 78/79 F150 Dana 44 front axle assembly to include: drag link and tie rod, track bar, radius arms and brackets and the lower coil spring cups. Im pretty sure Karl kept his factory 96 upper spring buckets but Id wait on him to fill you in there.
Lift springs would come from a 73-79 F150 as well. I recommend Deavers.

If you're gonna do an SAS and have the cash you shoud do a D60. If you don't have the cash or can't find a D60 a D44 will be fine with 35's.

a $1000 d60 would be a waste IMO for 35s unless he plans to beat the **** out of it on a weekly basis.

i thought so and i was reading on 9 ford 5 s sas conversion thread that you can use your ttb rad arm brackets for the sas as long as you use the ttb bushings This will make things a whole lot easier if its true.

Also, the 78/79 drag link is too long for the newer trucks, use a 90's 4x4 f350 drag link in combo with the 78 tie rod.
