Before & After - My 1993 K1500

The biggest improvement was the axle swap. That torsion bar bracket in the middle of the truck would hang up on a lot. It also made it ride better off road and flex better. I used a 52" rear spring with a 4" lift on the front so it would flex good. Except for the cage, most of the other stuff was a ripple effect. Heavy truck with big tires = big axles, moving the front axle forward to clear the big tires = hydro steering, and so on.
Now I need more power. Where's Tim the Tool Man Taylor at...
