Gm will be out the window they are ifs after they went away from leaf springs.You got the fords in the 70s 1/2 ton with radius arms and the 05 and newer super duty has a kinda radius arm set up on it.The dodges 94 up use a short 4 link.The big problem with using a oem set up is they are built weak and some the axle mounting points are cast in to the axle so you can't even cut them off.The off road design kit will be cheaper in the long run tho.Its designed to fit and everything is built strong so nothing to upgrade or make fit.
