SAS the front and run 80 series coils in the rear with long shocks
ifs are cheese(sh*%) and you will blow CV''S ...i think 35's are to big for ifs trucks to many problems
or sell it and buy a solid axle truck from the start then its only body lift spring lift and shckles move the diff forward and your done ...or big spring lift move the diff forward and your done.

Have you wheeled it much ?
If not, wheel it a bit, learn to drive it before throwing $$$'s at it.
Agree with jnrlux to a degree, tho can be done ( e.g. supralux diff).

Build it for what you want to do, which is ....... ??
