The front ends are set up the same, but the 2nd gens have longer cvs, a arms and tie rods. also more flex because of this. lifting is very easy like everyone said, i ran valley springs in the rear, a small torsion crank in the front, and a 3'' body lift and didnt' have any problems clearing 33x12.5s. although i did trim my front fenders a little before i got the body lift.

New rig: 89 trooper RS toyota axles with 5.29s, 35x15.5x15 swamper SXs
