I think the bodies are the same. The frames are way different. The 2WD frame bows out in the rear for the trailing arms and coils. The 4WD frame sides are parallel like a ladder.
My problem is how I held the board and thinking that the front two frame brackets were the same distance from the ground. If you look in my second picture the first body bracket has a step in it where the second bracket is even with the top of the frame.
I think if I take my 2X12 and set it up level to the garage floor then mark the frame bracket heights on it things will work out better.
Never a dull moment
