my truck has the SFA swap up front. my entire truck, including the price of the truck is cheaper then the lift you just described lol

theres SO many variables in doing the sfa swap. it can probably run you $500 up to $10,000 if youre building a show truck. i think i actually got mine together and wheelable at around 800 due to having a ton of the stuff laying around my garage and did all my own work.

i just googled around found like 4-5 builds, read them stole ideas from them and just took bits and pieces of info from all sorts of builds.

they do sell the brackets too for the front leaf springs so you dont have to make your own

Why so much hate on Dana 30's? I have zero issues with mine, stock shafts, detroit locker, and 35's. And I beat the living **** out of it on/off road...

if any one has bought anything from 4wheelparts.com, they automatically
send you a subscription of there magazine, a couple months back there
was a article about the dana44 VS Dana 30, and they focused on the dana 30, and could easily be built stronger than a dana 44... im not to partial to either,but somtimes a person has to use what he has on hand and make it work.. my 2cents... the mag is pretty cool though

well i have done some searching around and i found a kit for a solid front axle swap it comes with breakets that use almost all stock bolt holes on my blazer comes with bushings its about 350 bucks for the kit it dont seam to bad but it doesnt do anything for the rear lift so ill have to get alot of things togethere befor i even start taking things apart also i want to use my stock transfer case what axle would let me keep my transfer caso with the drive shaft on the driver side

this is the kit i was talking about
