i need help
 

i just bought this truck (87 pickup 4x4) this is my summer project
i need advice on what to do to get it trail ready
i know i need bigger tires
and apparently a straight axle in front

any sugestions
truck is stock everything

Things to Search

-SAS or Solid front axle swap
-Gears
-Dual transfer case
-chevy leaf swap or 4 link suspension
- not sure on what kind of tires but id say 33X12.5's or bigger
-4 inch lift or a tad bigger

Your going for flex and low gears so you can crawl instead of flail driving wich usually leads to flopping

flex im up in washington about 30 min from tahuya
i went out there today and just about flopped

So you think lifting the truck and putting bigger tires will help keep it from flopping?

Learn to drive the truck first STOCK offroad.....then modify the truck as fit for your needs.
