I would say do a wristed arm with the stock radius arm for nw and don't do drop down mounts cause they'll be a vulnerable spot for rocks and other trail obstacles.

This is a wristed RA

I'll be using the same thing on mine.

I'm using 3.5" eb coils on my swap and have mounted the ra's 2"s lower than the frame. I did this because the ra mount/crossmember was easier to build, and it got my ra's nearly level for better castor and movement.
 






If your looking to extend your D44 arms and use heims then check out Stone Crusher Steering

I got my extensions and heims from them. I forget the heim part number, but i remember that when i looked it up it was pretty beefy. Made by FK I believe and are 3/4" x 3/4".

Also, if you are extending your arms, then you shouldn't need the RA drops. The drops are used to alleviate the angle cause by losts of lift and the stock arms.
 












The stock bronco arms are the same length as the extended ttb lift arms. If you can find a ttb skyjacker cross member, you could use that to mount the arms, unless you are moving the axle forward. I also have the wristed arm.

Here is the Skyjacker x-member.

You can see the wristed arm here too.
