For the front see Justshootme's info maybe JSM will add this swap here in the BZ someday

I have a few SAS/Dana 60 leaf swaps in my site below; I still need to combine em all since they are under Driveline, Differential and under Suspension...

If you post the model of the axle your installing, that would help. I have several pics at superford.org (link is in my profile and at Miesk5's website) of a Dana 60 front with leaf springs from an 88 F-350 into my 84 Bronco. SImply fabricate a crossmember for the front hangers, and bolt on/ weld the rear hangers to the frame. The 80-up Dana axles are on 36" centers for the leafs, which fit closely to the 80-up Bronco frame. JSM84

Cool, MiesK5 has a link or two from his site. I've seen some folks use 52"-long Chevy leaves to get more lift over the stock Ford units. I got about 4-5" lift just from the D60 SAS using stock springs. Oh yeah, there's also some info on SAS in the sticky topics of the general 80-96 bronco forum, might help you out. LEt us know how it goes, and if you run into problems. I think it's a failry easy swap using the leaf springs. JSM84
