Re: you want a 4x4?
The rear end looks a little lower. I would hate to buy a truck with 20" of lift and need to but a 2.5" lift block under it.
It doesnt look like you can turn much or compress the suspension very far. Just because it can be done doesnt mean you should.

Re: you want a 4x4?
better carry some spare axles with that beast. 60s are tuff but those big arse tires are tuffer.

Re: you want a 4x4?
At worst case buy some moser axles and monster u-joints or forged ones and the 60 will take a lot. It's nice to see pics of one of these done. I doubt I'll have mine done for a while. I have mine set similar except I have polished aluminum wheels, more lift, and no spark plugs. LOL I like it.

Re: you want a 4x4?

Re: you want a 4x4?
Fine print says the front axle needs gears and hubs...minor problem.

Re: you want a 4x4?
You could buy it sell the tires, I would keep the wheels I think they are beadlocks, Not sure but they the have some that look pretty much the same that are, if not sell them Get a Junkyard 14bolt too match the front, And you have a good truck. Forgot too mntion take off the springs and put a 6in with 35s.
