Re: Is it worth it

To know if its "worth it" we will need to know your objective for considering the swap? Are you trying to improve the ride, handling, or just increase the cool factor?

Re: Is it worth it

I wouldn't run a irs its pricey and how light the rear end of these trucks is traction would be fun.If you want to lower it i would look in a 4 link with air bags,Or there is a kit to use the trailing arm rear like the 67-72 used on the 73-87.If money is no limit a 3 link with a watts link will handle amazing but will be pricey.

Re: Is it worth it

Is the truck going to be a show truck,a daily driver or weekend cruiser?
