[57taskforce]

The ifs in the 88-98 trucks ifs ok but no where near as stout as those front leaf springs and Dana 44. I've got 2 of each and while my 98 k2500 and 01 suburban ride smooth, they have way more moving parts and eat ball joints and steering parts much faster than my old solid axle trucks do. Not to mention the sagging torsion bars that need adjusting from time to time. There's a lot more to a frame swap than body mounts, my 57 is on an 88 k5 frame. The newer frames drop and Bend in places the old ones didn't. It's definitely do-able but it is a good bit of fab work to get everything right. In the end it's certainly your truck to do with as your please and that's what makes this hobby what it is...how ever these old 4x4 trucks are about as good as you can get when it come to 4x4s. An old tbi engine would be easy to swap into your truck and keep the efi.
