What type of suspension are you thinking of going with for your future swap?

I was actually thinking on going with a leaf spring set up in the front. You don't see it too often and I like the looks of the leafs in the front. I have thought of adding a couple inches of lift when I do it so I can fit 38's or so under there.

The leaf spring set up also has the advantages of being the easiest and cheapest to pull off, or so I've read.

Well after some research and new knowledge (thanks Kris), I'm gonna go with 4.88 gears front and rear. Tells you how long I've really been out of the game, last I checked 4.88 were still unavailable. I haven't decided what locker/limited slip I want to use. Debating on OX or E-locker for the rear. To me both seem more reliable and air. I don't think I want a full blown locker in the front since I'm still wanting it to be DD worthy.
I also think I changed my mind on being leaf sprung in the front. Figured since my D44 is ready for coils, why create more work for me when I can build radius arms and call it good. But who know.

As long as you are running front hubs, the front locker will have no effect during daily driving.

You sir, have a very good point. Maybe I should think more when I'm tired.... stupid grave shift. Or better yet I could just stop thinking in general, that might (inserted) make (end insertation) people more happy..
