if you want max flex for cheap then keep your "god forsaken ttb dana50". short of replacin all the springs for softer ones (or spendin copious amounts on coilovers) the rest of the flex will come from your rubber frame and time. as for the body work, why do it if youre gonna be trail ridin in the woods? shes gonna get lightning graphics anyway from tree branches, and crumples if you are serious bout 4wheelin it.

Welcome to the forum. Im a neighbor to you too, besides that... Like 89 said only fix rust if you going to wheel it with any meaning. Its a full size and they dont like the woods ..
