you'd pretty much have to change everything below the chassis except the rear axle.


far easier on that truck as it's leaf sprung and had a solid front axle.

those tyres are about £200 each

Of the top of my head, 7"ish leaf spring lift about £1K, £250-300 a tyre (if you looking at 36" plus), £150-200 a wheel for alloys, cheaper for steels.

You'd need to buy a used front beam axle, and the regearing both diffs won't give you much chamge out of £800.

£500 for a pair of prop shafts.

plus labour (I'm guessing I'd charge £300 for the lift, converting to solid axle front probably getting on for the same.)

Probably be a few extras, ie wheel arches and bits and pieces.

Give me £5K and a couple of weeks, and bobs your uncle!

Couldnt possibly justify that but maybe one day soon. I think ill start looking at speed boats. Hey Tony you're far to busy to be surfing the net, hows my baby doing??? gathering dust? Just make sure you come back from the honeymoon!!

That would be great outside our house - I could park my 205 under it and step out the bedroom window into the load bed and use it as a baclony

Surfstar your toy is keeping my truck company. I've slipped Tony some money to swop the reg plates over as your truck looks cooler then mine - it's exactly what I want mine to look like, just with some sliders instead of steps!
