Re: '72 GMC K25 build 454/4L80e
Time to rebuild the front and rear suspensions.
I installed a 4" front and rear spring lift kit from ORD...Off Road Designs. It uses new springs/shocks for the front suspension, and a shackle flip kit for the rear suspension to achieve the 4 inches of lift. While I had everything apart, I completely rebuilt the front and rear steering and braking components using stock GM components as well as a Superlift raised steering arm.
Also, I rebuilt the front and rear differentials. The front diff is a stock DANA 44 with 4.10 gears. The factory spicer lockouts were broken, so I installed new WARN lockout hubs.
The rear diff is a factory DANA 60 with 4.10 gears as well. The rear leaf pack is huge, and has a factory swaybar attached...a heavy duty towing setup for sureEverything was removed, sand or media blasted and primed/painted with Rustoleum satin black.
