ok im doing this build thread cuz im gonna throw ford one tons at the 1/2ton dodge.. should be interesting. will be a welded front dana 60 and welded rear 10.25. once that is done i will get rid of the 35's and get probably 39.5 boggers. my bed is smashed to shit so i might remove it and do some kind of flatbed. gettin rid of the smashed up bumpers and putting some steel with d-rings and eventually a winch.. this will be over the next couple of months bcuz i threw way too much money at the truck last 2 months.. pictures of the progress will be posted.

i would strongly caoution against welding the front unless you plan on running hydro assist. i did but it was super hard to steer without the hydro assist and i have alot lighter truck than you do.
