Got me a 98 Rodeo V6 With 53,500 miles on it. I did a little torsion lift in front added 255 70 16 tires and got the 16x7 1/2 stock Rodeo mags from the bone yard stripped & polished them. Original owner hardly drove it. Retired teacher. She Did not even tint the windows or remove the plastic on the rear seat! I wonder if the timing belt has aged out or is it solely based on miles the engine? the thing is pristine inside & out. Last thing do you know what shocks to get? I was worried the Ranchos might be to large but I have no clue. This is a 2 WD I put Desert Dueler HT tires not trying to do much more than driving the rutted highways & some dirt trails here in Socal. Thanks Jeff

It will need to be cut near the rear and put a radius bend in it, with a new piece of tubing. This has to be done by someone that welds properly, and can bend and cut tubing. You can put it all together and drive it with the straight original, but don't off road until you modify it for proper clearance at full droop.

Crank up the torsion bars in the front, and Old Man Emu Rear springs. But you need to proper length shocks front and back, and be sure to do the mod to the left upper stay arm or it will hit in the gas tank / tank skid plate at full droop. Its also good to make limit straps if you run it hard , so the shocks dont top out in the back, and also keep a slight tension on the springs at full droop. Cheers Dale Walker
