I was worried about the rear suspension being 3" shorter and started on a hunt for rear hangers from a 4x4. Then I remembered I already had a set from a previous purchase so I went out and dug them up. Looks like I will need to swap them out.
2wd rear spring hangers vs 4x4 rear spring hangers.
I also measured my lift springs for bushing sizes.
I also got some bad news from machine shop about my tbi heads. One is fixed and ready to go but the other head "was the worst wore out head he has ever seen" and supposedly isn't worth fixing. So I have to find another head to get reworked, which I don't have. Damn head is useless as a boat anchor until you need one.
Also may have found another diesel engine that I could buy. I guess we will see how that pans out.
