solid front axle conversion
I have a 97 f150 4x4 and I also have a parted out f250 that still has the solid front axle and rear end. How costly would it be to put the f250 axles under my f250? I know I can do the rear end but im mainly concerned about the front end. How would I do it and would I need to buy anything extra to do the front end?

Having done this on two 97-03s now, I will say it's a lot off work and custom fab, as well as a good chunk of change on materials and parts...
But it is possible to use these axles under your truck... Not the ideal front IMO...
You don't really want to use any thing off the 250 except the axles and maybe pitman arm if your going for 7-9" of lift, above that and you'll need a drop... Everything else will have to be made due to the differences in width in every aspect...
