72 Chevy K10 suspension upgrade
 
1 Attachment(s)
Hey guys, I am new to the site and looking for some ideas to help with making my 72 Chevy k10 have a better ride. The truck already has a 4inch lift and Rides great on the flats, but soon as I hit a pothole or speed bump it feels like the truck is about fall apart. Already considering the basics ( springs, shocks, bushings, sway bars). I just wanted to see if you guys had any luck doing anything different? Or any recommendations on what to hit first! Also I tried to attach picture of my truck (i kno it’s not the best pic) lmk if you guys are having a hard time viewing attachment!

Mine has a 4" lift with 35's. I am running softride springs from tough country in rear after I removed the blocks. I don't know what are in the front. Mine rides Ok...for a 50 year old truck and I do daily it some of the year. Pro comp shocks on all corners.

Nice truck! How did you mount the side steps? Use any extra metal to reinforce?

Thanks, yes when I did the rockers I welded a backer piece with a stainless 5/16 bolt in 2 places, and of course at the pinch weld. They are very solid.
