solid front axle
I have a 2000 f150 with a 6 inch suspension lift and a 3.5 body lift and I want to put a solid front axle in it but I don’t even know where to start really. I looked around and done some research but I haven’t really found anything helpful. I would appreciate some advice, thanks.

I don't know much myself, but it's going to be a real lifesaver if you're good with a welder and have some dough to spend. I say the best thing to do is check out pirate4x4.com. It's a bunch of DIYers who do all kinds of extreme stuff. The easiest way to go is probably going to be doing the SAS with a front leaf spring suspension. Good luck!

Sell your lift and you have a 3" BL they don't make a 3.5"
What size tires do you want to run? I'd start looking for a ford Dana 60 and depending on the tire size, I'll go more into detail.

I have goofed with this idea, being 2wd...But I don't know how I would begin to weld new leafs in place. I dont want to really lift it... 33's or 35's are plenty big enough for me... I just want 4x4(lever on the floor), solid axle, and 33's. Advice?

Obviously I don't want to sell my truck or that's what I have done in the first place. I don't understand why people have to come in and say " its cheaper to sell and by a 4x4". The question wasn't "which is cheaper?"

I don't know of any kits personally, there use to be farm boy fab, but I think there out of it now. There very well could be. I've just been doing the custom **** for 10+ years.
35's are bare minimum I do believe, to be able to clear everything, I'd do atleast 37's it would make things 10x better. But if that be the case, you might be able to get away with a Dana44 ford, which would be much cheaper.
