Long travel is badass, problem is that the main attraction here is mud; theres not many actual trails or places to flex. I already looked into that but im goin for more of a mud appeal.. or am i mistaken and a long travel 4wd can be useful? Hmm haha

 

You don't need 4wd in mud if you can go through it at 100mph!

 

Haha thats a good point, i wish there was more trails and actual offroad driving here i would love to get a longtravel and do some jumps

 

Same here, I wish they would let us on the dunes, it would be great for a long travel suspension

 

So i did a little digging on cl and found a pair of dana 60's of a 250 sd.. im not worried about the front axle, but on the rear, will i need to remount the spring pads and shock mounts, or will it bolt right on?

 

You will probably have to re-do spring pads and shock mounts. The SD frame is wider and uses a wider leaf spring so the mounts will be different.

 

Thats pretty much what i figured wouldve been nice haha i guess ill just hold out for a front axle only since my rear is already a l.s. .. whats everyones opinion on a dana 44? Is that a sufficiently heavy duty enough axle?

 

A Dana 44 is what came in 4x4 F150s before they replaced it with the IFS 8.8. But if you plan on doing some hardcore wheeling you should look into a dana 60.

 

dana 44 was used up til 79. When ford switch in 81 they received the TTB44. If you plan on running bigger than 35 stick with D60's.

 

Thanks for the info .. anyone know how hard its gonna be to find a automatic transmission with a manual 4wd engage for a romeo 4.6? Haha
