Use vic bumper shocks in the front, crease everywhere you can, if you can swap rear ends do it. If you decide to keep the hatch, move it above where the gas tank and weld it on. Get some 3/4 ton truck springs and use them in the front. Then take the stock front springs and use them in the rear. Build a gas tank protector. Any questions. PM me.

Did you put your bumper shocks on top of the frame instead of putting them in the frame? More pics would be appreciated.

Im thinking about finding one of these and running it in a stock weld bumper only show. Would they be very tough with these rules? Also what wheelbase are these?
