cant figure a couple of things out

I am the proud new owner of an 85 bronco ii. I am painting it 2 tone, Ford blue with white down the side, dropping in a 302, C4 tranny, 3" body lift, 6-8" suspension lift, and around 32 or so inch tires. Now I am trying to figure out the best and easiest axle swap to handle all of this. Any ideas??
Also I have searched and searched but cannot find a single roof mounted light bar for my truck or a good grill guard. So if anyone can direct me to any of these I would greatly appreciate it.

First off, I'd try finding the C5 that actually came in the BII, then rebuild it for your V8. Axle swaps are numerous, some guys put full width axles in, most put in the Explorer axles which are basically bolt-ins, but I'm not sure about putting a V8 power to them.. Do a site search for axle swaps..

Try searching this site as this question comes up fairly often. The search feature is on the top right by the FAQ. The dana 35 swap is the easiest the dana 44 is stronger. good luck. :canada: :redneck:
