    i wanna convert ifs on my f150 to a solid axle. i found the conversion kit online, and can see money wise that itll be a while before i do this but it gives me time to search for axles and read up on front end conversions and whatnot. what kind of axels should i be looking for? older f150's or broncos? and btw its a 4wd truck so i need a front diff too

    You should probably start a new thread for a project that large. Post up exactly what you are planning on going with so we can help you avoid wasting money on **** you can either easily make yourself or dont need. Regardless, I will assume later IFS Fords are driver's side drop in which case you will need a D-side high pinion Ford dana 44. Not hard to find.

    If I run an aussie up front, I know I am going to loose some turning radius... How bad is it really going to be?

    pretty bad, you don't want to run a fulltime locker in a dd, its going to chirp like crazy when turning corners and could be dangerous at high speeds. arb or e-locker in the front, selectable only.

    an auzie locker is an auto locker. You will not notice it in 2wd in the front. it automatically unlocks. I ran one in the jeep and never noticed it. An not the jeep does not have hubs so the front axle always spins

    thats what I heard... Pretty unnoticeable in 2wd...

    So is it worth the crappy turning radius? I imagine most situations with really tight turns I could put it in 2wd?

    I'm pretty set on it, I just want to make sure its not horrible turning (offroad).

    when its locked off-road you will not be able to turn. a limited slip will be best up front.

    werent you just telling me this afternoon that you wanted hydro assist? when you are rolling its not hard to turn, but if you are in a situation where you need to turn but cant move, it sucks. all it takes is a little movement to get it to turn but a lot of times that little movement screws up your line. plus, do you really want to lock up an ifs front end?
