So I picked up this 85 this weekend for my son. I like it lowered but my son would like to raise it back up. Anyone have experience with this? I am thinking springs and shocks on the front, and flip the axle back under the leaf springs on the back. Any of you ever done this? Thanks

 

4WD conversion?

 

Just really want to see how hard to reverse the lower job.

 

ok I just found an 89 4x4 with a crap body but the frame looks good. Does anyone know of any issues like bolt alignment and such that may cause problems if I swap the bodies on these two?

 

Well, you're making me wish I had the money to get the lowered chassis from you and you live within a hour's drive from me.

I'd drop my D250 cab on it and make a bed on the back for grins ... or cut down a stock bed.

(Whose old bones just don't climb as good as the once did)

 

BTW, the body mounts are probably the same since it's had only minor cosmetic changes from the original Ramcharger design.

Well if I do it the lowered frame can be yours, will advise

 

Just drop me an email if you wish.

'74 - '81 1st Gen. all match up. '82 - '93 2nd Gens all match up.

'85 body to '89 frame will work just fine.

 

Great dude, I am supposed to pick up the 89 next weekend. Thanks for the valuable advice.
