As ridiculous as the build has been as goals have changed the question for this thread is easy.

How much 73-87 spring will make a 70 k20 bounce so bad on wash boards it won't go up a hill?
How did you convert a C10 to a C20 ??? Just about everything is different except the sheet metal, engine, and transmission.

If you're bouncing on washboards then you need to drive slower. The trouble I had with my old K20 in 2wd was ice or greasy snow. Actually it wasn't that much better in 4wd on ice - the tires were too hard and the springs and frame were too stiff. However, you should have seen it hauling a couple tons of firewood out on a muddy cat trail, and pulling a Land Rover and trailer out at the same time
