Re: 2wd to sfa
Why do you want to add a SFA if you're only going to stay 2wd?

Re: 2wd to sfa
The biggest problem you will run into is the frame crossmember is right where the axle needs to be. You need like 1 foot of lift just to clear the axle then add more for flex. If your just wanting lift and not 4x4 then look at spindle lifts, long travel control arms, etc.

Re: 2wd to sfa
sfa for the lift sounds like a bad idea no matter the clearance issues with the problems of geting custom leafs or sourcing a pair is a pain, not to mention if you wanted to 4 link.
hell i wouldn't do it because of embarassment and funny looks edit: i just saw in your sig you already have 8'' of lift, seeing this i think that you should do sfa with watever lift it takes swap a transfercase make it happen and make it all work. it would be a great project and you get some respect from the 4x guys. but please dont put an axle in w/out it hooked up.
