Do you think cranking the front end would be all right to match the rear?? Theres no lift on it I just want to bring the nose up level...This is how its sitting now......I dont know if you can tell from the pic how much lower the front is

If you wanted to you could crank it all the way to the bumpstops but that makes the ride harsh as hell and accelerates wear on the front end. But you can safely crank the front end to lift it up to 1.5" of lift with no ill effects.

Yeah some paint, with fresh wheels and tires would make a world of a difference....Will a 97 interior match my 92? I found a parts truck with a grey interior but its a 97...

No, the interiors won't match. They moved to the new interior in 95. It is possible to swap to the newer interior, but getting all the components working is no beginner task.

Well how about a suspension lift then?? Some offset radiator mounts shouldnt be to hard to do because I got welding courses on Wed's so I pretty much have access to free metal, machines, and welding....


i vote for a solid axle swap :flamingdevil:
