[CC69Rat]

I found a complete 71 disc conversion with rotors, spindles, calipers, etc. Including a 5 lug 3:73 rear for $175 on CL. I think it would be worth it (added value to the truck) to put $150-$175 into the parts.. add my labor and get $500 (?) more for the truck?

I'm trying to literally drag this truck out of the woods and bring it back on the road just as a good, solid, dependable shop truck. The idea being built on the cheap, looking good and low / lean and re-sell it for a little profit.

I'm going to try to go with the conversion so I have options for wheels, drop spindles, etc. I agree. I don't like the idea of cutting coils.

Thanks for all your help. I knew I couldn't cut the rear coils but I worded it so it may read that way. My bad. I would have just cut the front. I'm prob either going to try this CL route or just leave it be.
