Default Bought a hooked up 97 for parting up my 98, What first?

As the tittle indicates i picked up a 97 with lots of upgrades to transfer to my 98 d1. Then i would really like to through the stock stuff back on the 97.

ok, switched out the lifted suspension with the stock one.
That was not a very easy job, these trucks are heavy.

Took all freaken day. and only broke one stock front shock and one of the units that holds the rear shock in place.
