I want to keep the 59 frame. Its straight and in decent shape. On the rear i plan on swaping the K10 hangers over to the 59 frame so i can run the K10 rear leafs.
On the front its not going to be so simple. I will have to use something fabbed on the front.
The reason for wanting to go to newer springs is, the originals are sagging and need replaced/rearched anyway.

The first thing i need to get busy on is figuring out tire size/lift and exacly how high i want it. I dont want it in the sky so the B52 swap on the front is probably out of the question. I would like to try it for the ride quality but at 4" lift in the front it would mean 8" in the rear.
