Tired of breaking spindle hubs and U-joints at the drag strip? Then this might be for you. I thought this was kind of interesting, although it seems like you give up some handling advantages. http://www.vettesuspension.com/C4_Suspensions.html Rich

I have a pair of old springs pulled from a 1985 4x4 truck. I was told that they are Rancho 3" lift springs. I don't know. They look beefier than stock. Rusty but usable. Only $20. Also have stock steering arms from a 1985 solid front axle as well. Look fine. (no pic) Only $10

Looking for the cage solid axle swap brackets for swapping in a Dana 60 with the cage arms Part#F2F1.201. Someone had a set for sale a while ago but I cant remember who. I figured I would check before I buy them brand new. Thanks- Dave

I am looking at a few different options for a mild rock crawling truck. I can find some reasonably priced trucks from the early 90s but they have IFS. It is more difficult to find a non rusty truck from pre 85 with the solid front axle. So my question is how much work is involved in swapping a solid axle from and 83 truck into one from say 92?

I will check with my neighbor on the one he has, and see if he wants to get rid of it. I think he has a full set as well. I will let you know as soon as I can.
