Ok, for those whove changed their suspension
Ok, I have a question that you guys are gonnnnnna hate me for, but i need transportation till the jeeps ready,
Can i Interchange some type of four inch leaf suspension onto my 91 bird, then throw some body puks underneath, and then put some nice snow tires.
Last night i was driving car left tire has been giving no traction, at all, only the right tires spins, so car wasnt bein nice to me, so it was an option of slamming a car, or hurting my baby, so i slid it to the side. shes so far unharmed, and i just need to give a close inspection.
So during winter i want to raise it up, and throw some snow tires underthere, either that or figure a transfer case thatll throw some power up to the front to make it 4x4,
Tell Me Whatcha Guys Think, THANX!!

I think you can get a zexel-torsen take-off posi from SLP, an install kit for that from someplace like summit and a new set of snow tires for much less of a hassle than trying to rig up some crazy 4X4 rig like that. Either that or some $300 beatermobile.

I don't think you could fit the body pucks under there without cutting the unibody up! You might want to take it slower in the snow tho
