SAS is a great way to go. Just don't do what I did and buy a 5.5" lift first and then swap axles. Waste of money... Do a spring flip in the rear, SAS in the front with Early Bronco components and you'll be set.

Your current front axle can do well for you, but you have to be aware of it's weak spots. Mainly hubs, and the aluminum center section. The center section can take a lot, but not as much as cast iron.

i for got to mention that the guys switched it to manuel locking hubs.

The Dana35 manual hubs are much better than the autos, but are still a weak link. Those who wheel a lot carry at least one and often multiple spares.
