Hey bro, thanks for the comment. Ok, the bodydrop isn't that hard really. It does take alot of dissasembly.ButI think it is very worth it in the long run.Mine is a stock floor bd. I feel this is easier than the traditional, but you have to remove the entire body.Build new frame rails and mounts, and put it all back together.took us about 3 months of nights and weekends.Hope that helps. Let me know what you decide.Later bro.

hi, thanks! for right now it's the stockies. My threats to put rims on it have, so far, been empty threats. I'm perfectly okay rollin 205/75/15 and tuckin' massive tire, which has not been accomplished in front.
Rims ain' no big thang to me.

Nice old-skool Courier!  Getting more power & mpg outta it is admirable too, especially today unless the government destroys the old metal... .  Doing the work yourself – look into getting ASE Cert: makes a GREAT 2nd trade!  Keep the life, ride & relationships righteous & REAL!    Godpeace.
