Hey folks I am trying to drop the front end down as low as I can get without breaking the bank. I will do the back to match but would love for it to be in the weeds for the look and purpose. I will be running it both on strip and street . Can I get by with chopping the springs , changing out to ranger springs or what ?????????? ?

Do you know if there are any articles on that sort of swap ? I have looked and looked for conversions , I just got the ride home today and will get it fired up the next few days . But in the mean time will grab a few ideas ,

They've done that a few times. That's Aron kaufmans fav front end lol. Cheap and strong. It is a good idea. Comes with disc brakes and all. I'll post a little more later. Gota hit it. Let's see this 86. Pretty stoked about it build! Originally Posted by Carolina Boostin

Been sitting for about 2 yrs , due to fuel pump going out , belong to a lawyer for hauling trash and instead of repairing he bought another truck lol . Once I repair the pump and freshen up the fluids and outdated stuff , should be able to run up the road no problem .
