My brother did the exact same thing. Bolts right up. Changes the ride though.

Why bolt a set of 3/4s on the back?
-If he's doing it to tow, don't you need to address the issue of the axle strength?
-If its for lift, why not just put a block under it and get about the same lift?

I guess nobody ever said all Bow Tie boys made sense..
