I can't give you PS specific advice as the general descriptions could point to any number of small to huge issues.
But at $2K (or less) it's a no brainer if you have the time, space, and skill to undertake the project. You could part it out for that. And/or transfer some of those parts to...
GM went to coil-over-shock front suspension, even in 4x4s.....no more torsion bars.
A simple spring spacer provides that small lift, which is why it's cheap
Changes starting in 2003:
....
Dual stage airbags with front passenger sensor (will turn off front passenger seat when not occupied by adult)
LATCH child seat anchors/tethers
Stabilitrak
Electronic fly-by-wire throttle control with better cruise control
Power pedals
New center console with...

Factory-built on a Ford F350 Crew Cab platform with a Bronco rear grafted on
460 V8
Centurion was best known for this conversion
Body looks solid, dry North Texas
Only $895/bo
Make a great starting point for an overland expedition rig!
Ah yes, I've heard of that. I guess since my truck is garaged (and in MN) it may not get the heat build-up that seems to destroy the stepper motors in the gauge cluster. But even if it did, it's not an operation-critical deal....in other words the truck will still run and function just fine. And...
What kind of electrical gremlins? When do they pop up? I've been waiting for 250,000 miles and I haven't seen the gremlins yet. Maybe I'm not looking hard enough.
So Oz only:
You can buy a leather-interior gas-powered Land Cruiser for $115K and send it out for an extended wheelbase flatbed conversion for $22K
You'd have $137K invested
Or you can buy a leather-interior gas-powered Tundra for $123K, already converted to RHD
You'd save $14K over the LC and...
$80,000 here in the US (base LC in the US starts at $79,550) .....and that exact same equipment on a LC in Australia is $115K (that would be a 'Sahara' 4.6 Petrol)
I used that equipment level in AUS because that's standard equipment in the US, you can't get a strippo here
And the $123K RHD...
A new Land Cruiser 200 'Sahara' 4.6 Gasoline Automatic is $115K in Australia
Plus $22K extended wheelbase flatbed conversion (no other options)
So $137K for a gas powered leather interior new Land Cruiser
The RHD white leather interior Tundra Crew Max 'Platinum' 5.7L Gasoline Automatic I...
I did *not* drive a 6.2L, they won't be coming out for a few months. They shared a lot of technical information about the 6.2L and I think I've got a very good sense of it. The technology is exactly the same for the 5.3L (all aluminum, direct injection, 11:1 CR, piston oil squirters...
You can buy Toyota Tundras in Australia as gray market imports.
Right hand drive Tundras.
There are lots of them, new and used. They are quite popular.
Well, I had my 2007 Ford F250 Harley Powerstroke until 104K miles and never had one issue with it (sold it in 2010). So I have nothing bad to say about the 6.0, but that hasn't been true for every owner.
$21,750 to convert a $80,000 LC 200 into a flatbed pickup?
However you think a LC 200 is superior to a Tundra Crew Cab, it makes zero sense to spend DOUBLE the money to end up with essentially the same thing
I don't think there is a 'bad' truck, just one that you may personally like better. That said, it's worth pointing out that GM has outsold Ford in the full-size pickup segment roughly half of the last 25 years. Ford only has one brand. GM has both Chevrolet and GMC. If you add them together...
