Just for the record.....I learned most of this stuff by readin tech articles off of other sites.

I didnt want to steal any glory from anybody. Just wanted to share.

Very cool build Joey~AP - I dig the front shackles you made - nice reinforcement to them.

I realize that....Thats why i asked him how the ride was with the rear 4" springs. I am curious as to how much stiffer the ride was with 4" springs as opposed to stock springs with a 4" block.

They ride like a 1 ton truck with 14 leaves on each side. Infact, I think that my k25 rode better than the K10 with 4" procomp springs out back...

Thanks for all the info and if you have the part numbers for the longer brake lines that would be great and i bought a kit but it did not have the longer steering arm or anything for the brake lines does any one no where to get the steering arm thanks

Most likely the emergency brake cables will have to be addressed if you are going to use the truck offroad. In my experience blocks created some handeling issues and springs were the way to go, but every application is different.
