But suspension is something i am not very comfortable with. And if i would try to make a modern daily driver out of a 72 blazer suspension would be high on the list. i would like for it to drive like a modern car with proportional steering, cruise control, and none of that scary body roll if i have to turn hard if i'm cut off in traffic.
i assume coil over suspension and modern sway bars will make it ride like a modern car? But are there proven kits that work? Or do i have to experiment until i find something that work? This is what worries me, i have zero experience in this area.

well, that comes down to center of gravity, and that will be a challenge in a 4 wd, but not impossible
