Re: lifting a 67 k10

I have a 67 K20, with closed front axles. Tires measure 33 inches on stock 17" wheels. Its frame off now, but when I would take it to the hills to get wood, turning was a big pain. If your not moving, you had better be popeye because you are gonna need the strength to turn it. I was emailed the power steering swap direstions. PM me if you want them, they are easy to follow. As for the Rockwell, its served me well, I could only get to around 60 - 65 but my gearing is LOW. In high gear, earl is right, sounds like a jet winding up. As far as the lift, I don't know. I have heard of guys getting 3/4 ton spring packs from a wrecking yard and doubling up the front and rear packs of their trucks with those. Kinda makes sense to me. I would stay away from front lift blocks at all costs. bad things can happen there.
