You are going to need LOTS of fabrication skills ... If the donor is a 2wheel drive I woudl cut the frame and weld the front of the 2x onto the 4x frame.

LOl i dont think much fab skill will b needed. i think someone with just standard knowledge could get it accomplished if they measure alot. The skills i have lol... But yes the donor is a 2wd and i plan on just stubbing the front... Make it alot easier..

If you don't think much fab skill is needed go look at performancetrucks.net, look at some of the rear end stuff they fab up and then look at custom2500's shit. Then come back here and tell us don't think you need much fab skills ... hahahaha

Yes u are correct. If someeone wanted a very off the wall Watts link or cantilever setup it would require alot of mad Fab skills. But go back and look at my post I simple said for doing the clip. No if o would have said I wanted a cantilever setup built on my own then yes u would be correct. So u r right and u rwrong.......

i would use car-part.com and locate a 2wd frame close to you and do a complete frame swap. you will also have to deal with the trans, a new drive shaft.

What I'm saying is you can't go out in your garage with a tape measure and make this work. You need skills. Some people have it and some don't. I used the rear end stuff as an example, I know the skills in that stuff are a little different but skills are skills. I was simply telling you to go look at some peoples fabrication ability. If you are here asking us what you can use and what you can't, you don't have those skills.
