Well I guess its time I did my sas since I destroyed my ifs unit. I am going to get the axle friday so the past couple of days i have been doing i little reading on here and have decided to put a parts list together and start spending money. My axle is out of a 1978 ford f250 it is sprung over with disc brakes the only down side it has 8lugs. So i figured i'd post my parts list on here and get some feed back on parts and stuff from some people with exprience before i go wasting time and money on something i might not need so here goes.
