What do you mean by trail ready? like a 6.5 LA kit on 35's? or a 2"BB on 30's? and what did you wanna swap exactly because some parts might not fit a 98

I'll get specific as soon as I can but I have been told it was set up to do any trails pretty well but the owner rolled it and messed up the body but it all still runs and such

ok, looks good, but did you plan on swapping your axle for this one? and what axle might that be?

Default axel
talking to a mechanic that helped build it, he says the axel should be the same as mine but I have yet to verify that.

I mean if you have the same axle, you might as well just do a swap for the lockers, but if their different, well then it's useless to you

yeah I agree, but on the other hand the winch and bar and tires and lift would still be worth it, expense wise

yes, but keep in mind everything is used. how old is the lift? was it wheeled hard? I mean there's alot to put into play and at $1900, you don't have alot of play with parting it out.
