Yea it's a 2 wheel drive front clip. I know it would probably been easier to change the front crossmember section like pathgrinder but the 4 wheel drive front clip was bent. Plan on a stock floor body drop. Possibly setting it up for 22s, we'll see how that goes tho. Going to try and keep the rear seat in it. Might be able to use the existing 4 link. Move the bottom mounts up so they don't drag and move the top cross bar and mounts up the same amount to keep geometry correct. Shaving it up in the rear. And putting in a 350 with 700R4 trans.

U must not want to keep[ the back seat with 22s. Lol. and the factory 4 link will not work, it wont give enough travel to lay. u could lay the rear on the fenders but thats it

OK maybe im lost but why did you just change the front clip and use the pathy rear clip??????? it would have been much easier to use a hardbody front clip and a 3/4 new frame back

Mainly for reference at this point. Bought the front clip with no back half and a body dropped hard body cab for 50 bucks. Front clip of the pathy was no good. Probably took us half a day to graft the 2 together. We thought it would be easier to get the back 4 mounts that way. Just working with what I have right now.
