what did I get myself into?

Are you shore it is a standard cab that bolts right on? It seems I heard once, a Crew Cab will bolt right on, but a Standard cab will not. Would that makes sense?

I'm not messing with that I'm fixing shot I got

Check out this thread, it might give you some ideas since its only the front of your truck frame is damaged.

Thanks for the thought I appreciate it. That seems like an awful waste of a perfectly good frame. I would waste one of my father in-laws frames. I could do the same thing by welding the shackles and spring hangers. Slightly more challenging, but doable.

But you'd actually be wasting the frame anyway if you took off all the hangers, crossmembers and mounts wouldn't you?

If you use a drill bit and bolts your not wasting either frame and heck you can always go back to 2wd LOL
