4wd cars...

I want to lift my 74 Plymouth scamp just enough to give it room to run 31" tires.The plan would be to use it to check out some of the hundreds of dirt roads around here, not necessarily go hardcore offroad, but more or less overlanding.The rear would be easy to get enough lift, things are alot more complicated up front with the torsion bars.The front suspension itself would be easy enough to modify or space the K member down to gain the needed clearance.Then the torsion bar crossmember could be cut and rewelded further away from the body.My biggest problem with that is the crossmember would hang down in the center of the car which would be a great place to get hung up on when the going got rough. Then I thought what if I was to put the car on either a 2wd truck frame or a 4wd ifs frame.If I did that I would gain more robust suspension and possibly 4wd,but normally, I HATE when cars are put on other frames because normally they look very bad.Double bumpers, huge gaps between the body and the frame, Bizzare wheel well fitment,etc.I'm wondering if anyone has any pictures of cars on different frames where the owner actually took the time to suck up the frame to the body and made the conversion almost look like it could have came from the factory that way?
