Did anyone notice the perfectly straight front bumper? That's worth a close to a couple of hundred right there!

All you have to do is move the rear spring hanger to switch from one to the other. Grind off the rivits, clean them up and reattach them using grade 8 hardware.

you got to measure them to find out, thats why i said you might have to cut and paste. like Fitz explained it ain't nothing to do it
