I would strongly recommend upgrading whichever coach you buy to a complete 2008+ front axle. This axle has better brakes, better bushing design, better sway bar design, and larger ball joints.
Other than that.... Finding a 2005+ chassis would give you the TorqueShift transmission which has closer ratios and tow/haul mode. The 4R100 transmission isn't bad, but the TorqueShift is a big improvement.
One thing to keep in mind with the BidFoot "Garage" models in case you may ever tow somethings heavier: The Garage models do not extend the frame rails. Instead, they just end in front of the garage, and the rear of the coach is effectively Unibody construction. That means if you want to tow more than 3500 pounds, you cannot simply bolt on a bigger hitch.
All this is super helpful
So what would a rough estimate of cost for the front axle be?
Regarding the garage models, what I hear you saying is that if I plan to haul more than 3500 lbs I will be up a creek without a paddle? So if I wanted to haul something the size of a jeep I would not be able to without serious modifications?
