Re: Thoughts on Solid Front Axle Swap on 2007.5 3500 hd

from my research its best to go older Ford kingpin dana 60 with leafs to keep it low. There are several kits out there.

Going later model super duty 60 you have to run radius arms or a 4 link and a min of ~6" of lift. OR use a super duty 60 that is re-tubed to move the diff a little more centers to make room for the leafs. You'll have to figure out what to do with the inner Cs though and trim the radius arm mounts from the diff casting.

GMs IFS is great for the road. Too many moving parts for often offroad, even casually. I agree the SAS would be nice, but too often people try and cut corners and end up with a subpar result.
