    I was wondering why the BL for 95-98 were so much more than the previous years of 90-94? I am getting ready to do one and have done about 3 before but all on later models than a 95 so I was wondering what the difference was, and is it a harder BL to conduct?

    Don't know about the price difference, to me it is easier on the 95 and up trucks because you don't have to lengthen the shifter linkage. All you have to do for the shifter is pull the cable through the floor board and make sure it has enough slack...no cuttin and welding the linkage.

    Most BL consist of the same parts. spacers bolts, brackets and extesions. some trucks have need more than others, but not eough parts to make the difference of mark up. The real difference is if you can afford a newer truck, then you can afford a lil bit more for the BL, thats how the manufacturers look at it.

    Ozzhead you got any good pics of your truck? I seen the one on the other post wondering if you had anymore good ones and how do you like the boggers so far. I was thinking of running the same tires on my stock rims.
