Re: C30 to 4x4 conversion?

8" lift should clear just fine on stripped down 2wd cross member .

look up www.diy4x.com

b52 kit http://diy4x.com/product.php?product...cat=250&page=1

shackle hangers http://diy4x.com/product.php?product...cat=250&page=3

shackles http://diy4x.com/product.php?product...cat=250&page=3

rear will be 3" low as true 4wd frames use a 3" lower hanging front hanger for the leaf rear leaf springs . lots of ways to work around this .

and your 2wd sm465 will be 35 spline rear output and no factory t-case combo come behind this as a direct bolt up combo . so its swap tail shaft / whole trans / or divorced tcase from a dodge or ih or early gm .

and 52 or 56 swap springs in the front take a bit to get dialed in for lots of street time. but cheep way to get 4-5" lift off the bat.
