Technically they are both ifs but different styles... either way the answer is no, you cannot make the older ttb lift work on the newer trucks.

You can, but it would be a lot of work.

I would go SAS unless you have desert racing aspirations.

Just get a 4wd Ranger. :thefinger:

If it is nice this weekend, I might fix the rear in that Jeep if you guys didn't already.
