since the frames 1/2ton i'll need to upgrade at least the rear springs to get any work out of her.
i have the rear springs from the 2000 2500 chebby donor and tentative plans are getting late model brackets that can be made to fit(i saw a yukon with a similar frame height) or making my own.then aquiring a 14 bolt or maybe a later model 2500hd disc brake axle for the back that won't crap out under heavy loads.

any input on this idea would be great.

also thinking of adapting a later front sway bar and brackets like a few guys here have done for stability.
