New Here and Looking at a 97 Safari AWD . . . Suggestions ?

[phr1$k37]

Well, you've came to the right place to get your questions answered. Just a word of warning though, stay away from that Peter guy....he still thinks that a 502 big block can fit in an AWD Safari....crazy I tell you

Bite me, Judas! I'll get that engine in there if it kills me... :-k

gotta love him ... hurry up and die already!

Aaron, I thought after '97 the AWD was changed over to electronic?

Whew! Glad you are still around Traveler - sorry we all missed your post. Is that '97 still around? You can join us '97s groupee ... hah ha.
I might of mis-read the post but what is your intent and daily use of the vehicle? It will help you figure out if you want 4" or 6" lift. I have a total of 4" lift running on 235/75/15LT (~29") tires daily and when I was really going hardcore mudding fun (wish I had photos ... ) I used 30" mudders and I didnt have a problem. If you are aimming to go larger tires other folks have already pointed out to go 6" lift

These vehicles are VERY capable. You will love your ride when you get it - so much that I highly suggest whatever you buy to mod on, burn the receipt fast so your better-half does not see the bills heh he.

My data shows '98 was the last year with the BW4472, after that the computer controlled NV136 was used.
