Nice, looks like a 78-79' F-150 HP D44 and 9" same axle I am using (cept mine is narrowed) as for steering ya may wanna check out the route I am going with mine (and pretty sure a few others have done the same steer setup already as well) well soon as my tube inserts show up but at the least I have a write up on which TRE's to use

You'll need to get a different driveshaft built. If the 9" is from the same vehicle as the D44 it should have 31 spline axles and it is the big bearing variety.

Depending with the yoke that is on it, it might work. Mine had a 1310 yoke (uses same u-joint as stock 8.8 Explorer), so I just had to pull off the u-joint flange adapter. Since I had so much lift, I also had to have it extended. Measure the yoke and see if yours will work. If not, you can either have a new end put on it when you get it lengthened or put in a conversion/bastard u-joint.

ok well i should be getting my check soon and will be using it to finish the swap. my new plan is to run 37's and 5.13's but my buddy's think that 5.13 is to much for a car that is still my dd. any input on this?
for coils I think I'm going with the cage 5.5, and i want to extend the ra's
Think the 2" aal will level it out?
thanks for any input.
