Default Questions on Solid Axle Swap

im goin with a solid axle swap instead for the IFS lift kits and had some questions...
Is the Off Road Direct kit a good kit?
What is the easiest front axle to use?
Any modifications on the t-case or front driveshaft?

You will just have to use a jeep cherokee xj front driveshaft and off road direct is about to come out with a 4 link coil spring kit that uses cherokee lift springs but for the leaf spring kit a dana 44 would work best if it is a daily driver, dana 60 is a little bit overkill because blazers and jimmys are kinda small.

Axle sizing has more to deal with than just the truck size alone. Depends more on tire size. Dana 60 might be too much for a 31 inch tire but for a 37 or bigger its jsut right.
