I'm looking at an upgrade. I need V8 power. I've done a ton of learning lifting my '94...what I would / wouldn't do over. I'm frustrated to no end with this mysterious 55-65 (70 on mine with the 31's) rear end shake that appeared after I installed the lift.

I read another post, something about torching off some brackets and welding on new ones.

I want to do all of the learning I can. Is there a difference btwn 95-97, and 98? Also, is there a problem with lifting the AWD?

Can someone give me an education?

Thanks.
 






That second sentence belongs after the question about the 2nd gen Ex's...sorry.
 






You're talking about the torsion bar bracket mount deals. How the 95-97 they are welded to the frame while in '98 they started bolting them.

There is no difference at all lifting an awd compared to a 4wd.

EDIT: You'd want to torch and bolt.. not torch and weld. :D
