Re: K5 2WD Conversion

That is a good question, it looks like trailing arms have been added to a 4wd frame before but will require aftermarket components . Check out these links below that'll hopefully help. Looks like whats keeping it from being a pretty straight forward mod is you may need to get an aftermarket crossmember for a 4wd frame to get it to fit into the frame rails of a 4wd frame as the widths may be different there? Also the spring perches in the rear need to be placed somehow. It looks like Porterbuilt may make something that can help you if you go forward with it

What are your plans for height? Keeping factory height or dropping it?
