hi, I have a 94 explorer with the 31 spline, dana 35 ttb. I have already done some mods to it,but I have been reading about solid axle swaps  and found that a 78-79 F150 or Broncos' solid dana 44 would almost be a direct replacement. I would like for it to be coil sprung and run about 35 inch tires. ( I also plan to use the 9 inch rear and swap it in the back) Do you see any problems that I may have, such as changing the steering box, brake lines, ABS, etc.

Thanks Mitch
