2wd to 4wd.....just curious

No, if I were to eventually convert my truck to 4wd, it would not be to put a big lift and huge tires on it

Well I’m that case need another chassis because of the rear coil spring setup. I’ve flipped the axle under the trailing arms but just that alone gives you about 6.5” of lift from 2wd height so for stock height 4wd that’s too much. What randy said is something to keep in mind about a truck chassis, I may be wrong but I think only 72 the rear bumper bolted directly to the frame and the older models used brackets

It is a long ways away (unless you can swing a transfer to Whidbey Island) but a prime candidate.

yea, that would be a good candidate....unfortunately, this project is still a few years out. That being said, its pretty apparent that a full chassis swap is probably the easiest way to go.

When your ready reach out to richard2717. He is has been known to part out Burbans from time to time. I believe he is in Maryland which is somewhat closer. And he is a real nice guy to boot.

To answer your last question. The spring you have now will ride the same, just sits higher from repositioning the axle
