Re: Bought my old K5 back, now receiving a 5.3 swap...
Time for another update....
Ended up using a ratchet strap to suck the frame rails in enough to get the crossmember installed.
I also ended up scoring a pair of 56" rear springs (stock is 52"). Since I was changing to 2wd rear hangers anyway, I placed them 4" further back. The springs themself have an offset center pin by 4" to keep the wheelbase the same.
The front A-arms have new urethane bushings and new ball joints installed.
I plan on getting the diff installed tomorrow, along with the new 2wd steering box. The 5.3/4L80e to follow.
