Still very comfortable on city streets and highway. Little bit of sway but not a problem since I stopped drifting the truck  .
Its not for everyone and its a little trial and error but now that its set up, I don't think I could have gotten any better without going to a multi link or some ridiculously expensive front suspension. |
Even with the front sway bar, it still rolled bad?
And just for clarification, the '74 1/2-ton spring is originally a front, or rear spring?
I'm picking up a Dana 44 tomorrow (if all goes well). I know of dozens of 1/2-ton trucks and Suburbans in junkyards all over here, and two K5 Blazers in two different junkyards... both are pre-'80. One has already given me its front sway bar. They both have the front leaf springs on them yet.
Which springs should I be looking to bring home for my conversion?
