I speak drunk. It's a second language in Wisconsin.
Translation:
What?
You can't bolt a lift on by yourself?
You have to get Kris and Paul to do it?

Sadly no, just put all new 2.5" glass pack exhaust on the '97. It quieted it down a bit but got a deeper rumble. I don't really like it so I'm probably going to go true duals, add two glass packs right after the cats and dump and at the rear of the cab.
For the '79, I've been looking for headers, ordering ball joints and u joints tomorrow and going to look at a front d-shaft next Friday.
