Front Suspension Upgrade

Hey guys n gals, I was just curious if any of you out there have upgraded the suspension on your f150, 4x4's?

Ever once in awhile I come across a 5.9 cummins and get the urge to swap one into my f150 4x4, and I just wanted to find uot what people have been doing to upgrade thier front suspension.

Im not too concerned about the diffs etc yet either, I would look into that when I need too.

F-250 or F350 coil springs would provide a good stiff ride for the cummins... dont know how long the wheel bearings/ball joints would last tho

Most of the ones ive seen put in the F350 solid axle to help with the weight.
