So I don't have to modify the frame to have leaf springs in front. The '84 - '85 frame rails are bent more relief to allow more space between the straight axle and the frame. The '86 - '88 frames are flatter (like 2wd frames) because the IFS doesn't need the same clearance. -- Matt


So the question remains, why? They're the same body. Find an 85 SR5 and you'll get all the fancy interior goodies. What am I missing here?
