i have an opertunity to pick up a wrecked 99 sd 4wd for the axles, only problem is its leaf sprung, and that won't work for me, because i'll be moving it ahead 6 inches on the front of my 97 ranger along with the fact i dont readily have a welder to fab up a four-link. my friend has a 69 chevy 2wd, with an original trailing arm setup u-bolted to the leaf spring perches on the rear end. curious if anyone has heard doing this on a front axle, with a track-bar to locate side-to-side movement. or would i be better off waiting for an 05+ sd with factory radius arms?
