Just get a 4wd truck, what is so special about your truck that keeps you from trading it in?

i thought you were makeing your truck "too low for fat hoes"? wtf?

a 4x4 swap will not be fun and not worth it and shortening a truck isnt any fun either. just do what ty said and trade it in.

have you even done anything to your truck?

I would find a 4x4 donor truck and swap your cab and other parts over to that frame. would be a hell of alot easyer and also would give you a chance to replace any needed parts and fix any rust issues. anyways thats just hwo i see it. if you want to take on the challenge of swapping a complete front end out of two trucks, adding a transfer, cutting a hole in your cab. and so forth. go for it lol.

ive changed alot over the past few months and thats one of the sudden changes in opinions lately so i hope that answers that


i already like my truck except for 2wd i can deal with lwb but i prefer a swb and cant afford a new truck and dont want to be walking any longer than i have to and no i havent done any mods yet because i have no job presently

it would be cheaper to sell your truck and buy what you wanted.

92custom. please quit wasting our time with stupid questions like this. if you dont have any money coming in. your not doing the swap. you can dream as big as you want, but keep it to yourself.

Then make what you have work.

How do you plan on paying for all of that stuff, and getting to work when your truck is all ton appart? Thats not exactly a weekend project.
