Sell it-and by a ZR2. The features are to many to list and you will come out ahead in the swap. Plus you 'll have a reliable whoopass truck.

svollo might be right depending on what you want to use it for.

There are so many things that you can do with your truck to make it a killer off road machine.

Including a solid front end, with a leaf spring conversion. I'm told that this costs about the same as a 5" lift with about the same amount of work.

But if you just want a good truck for light off roading your stock truck is probably fine, and the ZR2 is a little bit better.

Agreed.

We have a Zr2...LOVE IT! Owned it about a year now...mostly use it for hauling feed, checking cattle in pastures, etc. High suspension is invaluable here in the Ozarks...ours has big wheels that makes for a wide tire set...it really handles the curves well and is so stable, you don't notice hardly any roll.:thumbsup:
