Need some opinions on suspension for my k10 currently in progress. I am shooting for low cog on a 35-37” tire. The goal is 2” of additional lift , fender trimming, and moving the axle forward ~2”. I want to keep the leafs for simplicity. This truck is mostly used as a wood hauler work truck used to get around in the mountains, not a full blown crawler build. I still want maximize suspension performance on and off road and don’t mind spending some coin if I have to. This is the first square body I have built. Seems like most of the aftermarket support is geared towards 4”.
drivetrain specs:
550hp ls3 (aluminum)
4l80
np208
14 bolt
dana 60
suspension options I have identified:
-Tuff country 3” front springs and shackle reversal in the rear
-2” tuff country front springs and moving the rear shackle hanger
- home brew front leaf packs to level out the front and and start trimming
-52” front springs and a shackled reversal in the rear.... i am concerned this will provide too much ride height.
what would irate do?
