What I've done:
-Rebuilt A4LD (drives like a dream now)

-Newer Ranger Rims
-Cone Filter with K&N Drycharger

-Body Lift for 302
-33" Mud Terrains and Cragar V5 Rims

Looks good..

Remove the sway bar and put a front bumper on it and it will look excellent.

I took mine off my explorer and it handles fine. And my ex is alot heavier than a b2. I was afraid at first but now its second nature. Just don't throw it into turns like a maniac.
