Re: eight to five lug how to do this

To rephrase your question:
How do I make my truck weaker, and lose part of my potential resale market?

Re: eight to five lug how to do this

Welcome to the board from south Mississippi! Sounds to me like his question is "How do I make my truck the way I want it?". Ask over on the Message board and you'll get the answers you need.
