I know his truck isn't on the road yet, don't know where he is on suspension. He has a thread in the builds section, Used Parts Build I think is the name.

Yeah... just went through it and hitched onto it.

Hey all. Yeah I do have a build thread that is kept up to date. I haven't gotten much further on the front. Been mostly focusing on the major fab stuff. I have the spindles in and center link attached now but nothing else.

We just reamed the spindle for the ball joints.
Went 3500 to 1/2 ton stuff, used everything over. The flex brake hose different too.

So everything fit other than the need for reaming out the ball joint spindles? Did you put in the C10 springs?

Did you swap the C10 leaf springs in the rear as well?

I am wanting to do this to mine since I am tired of the stiff ride and will NEVER carry any heay loads again!

Front coils interchange. You'll want the correct ones to support your engine combo. The rear mounts won't know or care what leafs are being utilized. You just need to match the spring length (56").

Since the frame itself is different/heavier duty, there might be some height variation to prepare for since your truck is currently stock height. Guys like 'KQQL IT' don't have to worry about it since they were dropping/lowering their builds.
