Haven't been around lately, sorry to hear you are selling your truck.

In an earlier post, you said you were going to try to make a notch for the K5's; did you follow up on that?

Also, you were having a problem with the Tahoe rear springs, and if I understood correctly you ended up having custom springs made?
I was going to go the Tahoe spring route, but am curious what the probelm was?
Another option I have is I have a set of 2" lift springs but they are from a truck. They look to be the same i-2-i length, but I was wondering if the capacity is different for truck and K5 springs?
