Hey everyone I have a 89 GMC short bed.  I am getting a dana 60 for the front and a sterling  rear axle off a  03 f350.  I was wondering if anyone has done this before or knows where I can find the information to help me out on doing this so itwill make things a lot easier since I am a green horn on all of this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

go to www.offroadunlimited.com at the top of the page go to chevy/gmc then go to ifs conversion kits.
some other things to check on will be your ujoints bolting up
cross over steering is a big plus and remimber that the conversion kit will add about 2 in. of lift by its self
i got the 8 in kit and it raised my 99 tahoe about 11 in. a little more than i wanted
short wheel base on yours might be hard to control driveline vibrations if you go to high

BIGGER IS BETTER, WHY NOT
