GMC Build

Starting to collect parts to convert my 2000 GMC 2500 over to a solid axle. Truck has a 6.0, 4l80e, np261 combo, 220k miles, some rust issues, and overall was nickle and dimeing me as a DD. Plan is to have a truck that I can drive around town, and do some moderate wheeling.

Just picked up a set of 60's, that I need to go through and clean up. Plan is to do a radius arm front suspension with coil overs. I've found most everything I need (mount and joint wise) from Ballistic fab. I'll probably be clicking the "order" button next week some time. Anyone have any experience with a radius arm setup?

The only big unanswered question I have is about my transfer case. IFS trucks have a slip yoke style case and I need to convert it over to a flange output, or swap in a transfer case that will work. Suggestions?

I'll get some pics up in the next couple days.
