Might need trim the front and crank the torsion keys, but I'm not sure. My bumper doesn't sit as low as the factory bumper so I'm not sure how much you might need to trim. There's also minimal rub on the fender flares in the back that I need to trim, but it's not a big deal. I'm gona get an AAL in the future

that's right I forgot about your bumper.. plus I have the 97 bumper obviously so I can't trim it because there's no plastic

I wanted to do a swap too but I can't find a front bumper online lol if I did I would ****** it up before I got new tires. I'd love to get one and a set of depos

you can trim your 97 bumper you just cut it and keep it cool go slow... and yes you can fit 33s but instead of cranking your keys id spend the money and buy a level kit because it comes with 2.5 keys a little block in the back and it comes with new shocks and u bolts rcx makes a great kit and it will make it look very stocky.

I've seen kits like that and they cost about $500 give or take... HUGE waste of money. You can get the same amount of lift without buying new keys and you can get some blocks for like $50 and odds are he doesn't need new shocks

What in that kit would make it stocky? I just got new shocks so I can't go with that kit, but I'm just curious

They are not pricy go to rough country kits under 150 bucks the keys alone are like 100bucks if you bought new shocks then youll be fine if you do one thing why not replace one other so it rides better..
