4BT has no balance shaft & has vibration that shakes a lot of stuff loose
The company that did the conversion on my truck had put a Corvette leaf spring across the front under the LCAs I guess to hold weight
Not exactly great for everyday use in a light duty vehicle
Good engine though I had a SRW 1 ton Chevy with one & pulled a horse trailer with it for about three months till it had to go
I wouldn't have another one in a pickup

Where did you get this front bumper????!!!

:naughty:

Guy who did my paint and bodywork fabbed it custom. Wherever my build thread is, you can see it in some more detail there.

Thing is, we gotta take a plasma cutter and cut it back a bit, so it doesn't hang on every rock & stump! :eek:

Yeah that bottom part looks as if it hangs pretty low. But I love the curvature of it. Looks a lot better than my custom fab

I have a 9,000lb winch ready to install - trying to figure out HOW & WHERE, once we trim that bumper - is the challenging part. :hmm:

Here is my 84 prospector. Picked it up from a farmer who owned it new. Never been lifted and runs like a top.
