So I decided to build a tube chassis for it. The front axle is going to be a Dana Super 60 off a medium duty ford.

I want the truck body to sit 8 inches higher than it is, so like equivlent to 4 inch suspension lift and building the tube frame that much taller like a 4 inch body lift.

Question is should hook the axle up with radius arms or 4 link.

It would depend what you're using it for

Might want to chose which is cost effective

I'm building this myself so cost isn't an issue

Link it. Hands down the best route to go for adjustability and strength.

long arm links, make them as close to parallel to ground as possible

If you build a linked suspension do yourself a favor and use a link calculator. They're simple to use and explain exactly how your suspension will react. Otherwise you have no clue how it'll react, just a generalized guess.
