I am wondering what all i am going to have to do the swap i have a 87 v10 with 8 lug dana 44 and ff 14 bolt... with 8 inches of suspension..... and what do u recomind with the suspension because i am going to get the 4 inch shackle flip
 
The truck already has 8" lift? You are wanting to keep 8" lift in the front?

If yes
Get the 4" shackle flip, with a four inch lift spring, and the 6" super shackles.
This is going to set the rear a little higher than the front typically. If you want the rear level you can use the 4.5" super shackles.

If you are going to 8" lift from no lift or a shorter lift you need enough more stuff that a phone conversation needs to be had with Stephen.
 
the truck has no lift right now im just looking in what to get.... wanting to go 37's instead of 38's is it possible for 6 inches to clear 37's

You can clear 37s with some fender trimming.

With no lift on the truck and knowing you would like 37s I would suggest a 6" lift.

Get the toughcountry springs in front and do the 4" shackle flip in the rear with a 2.5 inch lift spring.

Other items you will need are.

Shocks, brakelines, steering correction (either raised block or crossover) might need new driveshafts. These items are must haves

Nice to have would be

Front upper shackle hanger, full greasable bolt and bushing kit, upgraded shocks, and a traction bar

The list goes on and on but you get the point.
Give a call and talk with Stephen and you will get the pros and cons of each of the options.
