hey guys, back in august 2010 i purchased a 1997 250 powerstroke, solid front axle the whole nine yards for a complete diesel swap in my bronco, i plan on on going this project when i get out of school next yr... while i was in class last week in suspension, i was driving my buddies 02 duramax, i loved the way it rode, i know what his truck is capable off road as well, just wondering, i know alot of custom fabrication is needed but once i do this swap, what all would i need to do to complete an independent front suspension, capable of offroading and being very durable with the weight of the truck/engine, thanks guys

Huh...?

Un-clear if, at the end of the day, you want the solid or independent suspension.. :unsure:

"what all would i need to do to complete an independent front suspension, capable of offroading and being very durable with the weight of the truck/engine"

Be interesting to see if anyone can actually answer this...who's actually done it.

If you find someone., take a ride in it.

IMHO., buy an '02 Duramax if that's what you like. You'll be time & $$$ ahead.. $-)

Although, as I've said., a while back, I saw a "Hemi" stuffed into a Nash Metropolitan. :eek: /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Have fun with that., should be interesting..keep us posted. B)

Good luck, it will be interesting to see what you come up with. Take lots of pictures and post the results. I'm sure it will benefit someone else in the future.

... ok I guess... I have seen stranger things.

If I were you I'd just stick with the solid axle from the 97.
