Much more to it than just springs and new badges for the fender. The FRAME is quite a bit thicker and heavier. If you have trailing arms and coils, the trailing arms have an extra channel riveted in the web. You don't just adapt to 8 lug wheels, you need new spindles and control arms up front and a complete new axle at the rear.
