Re: Post your best budget mods! ($50 or less)

1 full ring off the front coils(free 2 " drop) A little fab work , nothing special, & a set of front shock relocaters for under 20 bones. A 1 ton sway bar(free from a free parts truck), & a new set of bushings & bolts(under 40 bones, & a nice addition to the old truck). A variable ratio box , from a free 84 Burb parts truck, & 30 bones in hoses. Axle flip at the rear, & relocate spring hangers, for a 4" drop(a little welding required on the spring saddles & rear shock relocators).....still under 50bones A set of old school slapper bars,also under 50 bones. Rod ends on all of the clutch linkage.....a great improvement, & still under the 50 dollar limit. I could go on & on, the old longhorn WAS basically a low bucks build , untill it came to the drive line crazyL
