37" pitbull rockers with alloy shafts. Add a 203/205 doubler. Full hydro if your looking for a kit PSC and Howe are very good or you can put one together yourself and save a couple hundred bucks.
It needs a front locker and propane as well.
Not that I've thought about it. Enjoy the buggy.

Alloy shafts and joints and front locker. RPM in Bristol can hook you up.
A LINCOLN Welder ca hook you up to.

I recommend adding a winch, front locker and up to 37" tires for that front axle. I like iroks or tsl's. I'd hunt for a 1 ton swap before doing chromo.

Thanks for the sugg. I will keep them in mind. I am gonna start with a locker & hydro stear also 4link the rear. The 9'' ford is pretty tuff i may keep it till it breaks. Cant wait to try it out.

Are you sure you need hydro steering? I'd put the money in alloy shafts first.

Other than maybe a front locker,like a Lok-Rite,I wouldn't dump any money in axle that you'll probably replace anyway.Your best money will be spent on fuel injection or propane and a winch.Hydro-assist is nice but unless your locked/welded in the front your money will probably be better spent elsewhere.Other than the fuel system,I agree w/Rob,wheel it and fix/upgrade what breaks then.
