Thinking of taking on a basket case '40 half ton project. (Like I need another project) I'd rather keep the solid axle rather than put in an IFS. I have found kits for adding a sway bar, tubular shocks and disc brakes with the after market vendors. I'd like to come up with leaf springs that would ride about an inch lower but have a good progressive rate that would stiffen up quickly when compressed. Also I'd like come up with a good steering box swap that would work well with the original axle, but with a quicker ratio, and maybe even intregal power steering. Anyone else been down this road?
