Radius arm drop brackets or extended length radius arms?
Extended all the way for a wheeler/ driver. It will give better flex and drive good.
Anybody know where to get some for a lot cheaper than all of the ones i can find?

About the cheapest i found.
Look for a used set, there are 5 stages of Fords and you want to find someone between stage 2 and 3.
Stages of fords:
1. Perfectly fine and capable daily driver
2. Light mod/ lift kit, still drivable
3. SAS pretty capable, mostly driveable
4. Extreme mod'ed and cut, sometimes trail-able
5. scrap yard
i have the dick cepek kit
yeah and frick can show you how to build some extended radious arms

ttb lift with extended arms.
My advice since it is a DD is to do a 3-4" good quality TTB kit, 35s, a rear locker, a front bumper, rear hitch for a recovery point, and have fun with. Going with the TTB kit will mean less down time than doing a SAS. Most all of that could be done in a weekend, and you will get out cheaper for now.
From what I remember from my TTB days, Dick Cepek made a pretty good kit. I am not sure if Clarke's had the extended arms or not. I had a Rancho 4" and was pleased with it. You could do drop brackets for now and get the extended arms when you get some more cash.
SAS'ing with a 44 seems like a waste of time and resources to me. If you are going to do it, do it right with a 60. If you can not afford a 60 right now, then wait until you can.
drop brackets. although for wheeling the extended arms are far superior, when it comes to driving a vehicle on the road everyday, ide try and keep as many stock parts on it as possible. plus the kits with extended arms are $$$
you gotta think though, this kid is going to be driving everyday in this thing and i doubt he will be doint any serious wheeling until he goes with a sas. For the time being, to save money on a lift and tire wear(we r talking about ttb i know) and do make me some green, drop brackets are the way to go
