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.

What kit did you 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?
SHUT UP AND WHEEL
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

when its locked off-road you will not be able to turn. a limited slip will be best up front.
? what is so different with an Aussie locker? My full Detroit lets me turn offroad just fine even without h-assist.

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?
