What needs to be done or replaced to make the 05-07 suspension work on our 99-03?
There are tons of deals on 05-07 lift kits and they are coils vs our leafs. Do we need their axles? or can we just swap some parts or is there fabrication needed?
You will need the 05-07 frt axle and shock and coil mounts and radius arm frame mounts and you should be set or I'm sure you could mod the 99-04 frt axle to make the coils work
Check your local Junk Yards you might luck out and find the 05-07 parts cheap
yup that would prob be best.. by the time he bought the axle and all the brakets to do the conversion and the lift... he could of prob of gotten a coilover conversion like skyjackers Z Link
I would go with the 05-07 front end b/c you have more options the Z-Link is only a 6 or 8 inch with the newer frt end you can go as high as you want and buy any kit you want
I would love to get one but im not intereseted in gaining much lift just for the coils would be nice also it would help give me some turning radius back from the leaf and tires rubbing.
Let me know if you have any q's. I have the newer style axles in mine. Also you will need a new style steering box or have to modify your pitman arm to work with the new steering center link. You will also need new driveshafts.
