Been working on the swap to air bags, there's a lot going on and it's taking time to make progress.... upgrading to disc brakes, replacing all the ball joints, painting control arms, adding 2.5" drop spindles, notching the rear frame, adding the rear track bar, etc.

I picked up a cheap set of used, chrome 20" wheels and set of new, cheap 245/40/20 tires to test fit size, backspacing, etc at full drop.

I got the front bags, drop spindles and new parts on and had to set it on the ground. The rear isn't notched yet, so the frame is sitting on the axle housing. It'll drop another 2.5 to 2.75" once it's notched. I can't believe how AMAZING it looks at this point.... it looked OK before on huge 22's with the 3" & 4" drop, but this is a totally different level! It's going to be so fun to drive!

Just a spent the last hour and a half reading through this thread. Very well put together, but now I’m going to be tired at PT in the morning ha. Do you have plans for the k20 anytime soon?

I appreciate that! Unfortunately I sold the K20 recently, I loved the truck but was feeling pretty spread thin and had to free myself up.

Aw man too bad, I was excited to see that. Either way, I’ll return to your OBS thread and gather more inspiration for mine there. I’m sitting in a blue Interior just like yours as we speak haha.
