Don't think this will work for you, but worth a try:


Basically, a dodge on 49s w/ about 30" lift and it's all in a weak drop shackle bracket, of coarse with no driveshafts.

Tell you what Don.

Get some metal gradeing cherry red hot, and do a 4 Lo peel out on top of it, and you should be good!

This does not look to good to me. The guy is a new member and is thinking of buying this truck. Aside from the obvious pinon/ transfer case being out of parallel and the questionable drag-link, perhaps you may see other issues that should be brought to light in order that he may make an informed decision regarding his purchase.https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/7...r-opinion.html

it doesn't look THAT bad, but its definitely a mall crawler..
