Re: Stock front axel on a K20??

Appreciate the input! I've done a bunch of research on this....yes the factory 4wd trucks are leaf springs in the rear. That being said, if you're not doing heavy, technical off roading, the trailing arms with coils are just fine and will actually provide a better on-road ride quality.

As far as ride height, I would get the front set up the way I wanted it, then order rear coils to match the ride height. Once I had the truck sitting even, at ride height, I would order shocks....probably Fox, with a measured operating window to match the ride height.

I used the same process on my Corvette and got a really nice combo of ride height aesthetic, handling, and ride quality.
