I wil tell you one thing, these things shift a lot when they get waked hard enough to bend the frame. Do you know if Its Sway then yes, diamond probably needs sectioned. The main issue is the the frame in front uni-body in the rear its not an easy change over, but we have done them before. Take it to a real body shop that has a frame machine and see what they say. Make sure they know its a project not a daily driver.
