    Transfer case drop

    Ditch the sway bar altogether. Unless you get some fancy super soft Deaver or Alcan springs, the sway bar really isn’t necessary unless you drive the K5 like it’s a corvette.

    Help me build my truck - What should I do?

    traveling with children. I would save the 2k and use it as needed after you complete the 8.1 swap. Spend that money on making it reliable. Breaking down with kids in tow is not fun.

    Looking for advice swapping 5.3 and 6L80e into 79k20

    Motor mounts I suggest the ORD engine crossmember/motor mount combo. The Holley Terminator is compatible with the six speed, no issue there. Walters speed and engineering has a VSS kit that replaces the cable drive on the 208/241 xfer cases. Fairly easy install. Whatever your budget is...

    K5 3” lift question

    No, all the way around. It’s like they gave 6” springs the 4 “ part number. It’s the same way with K10’s that I have seen. I don’t know why they cannot get it right. The stuff they make for jeeps is ok. I’m not saying that the rough country is junk as the parts appear well made, just not to...

    K5 3” lift question

    You really do not want to cheap out on the suspension. You’ll just end up paying more when you have to do it right for a second time. The Rough Country 4” does sit approximately 2” higher than advertised and will create other problems. Tuff Country does ride very decent for a K5, complete...

    Bolting 5.3 to 700r4

    Get the ORD LS mounts. “These mounts place the back of the block in the stock location so you don't have to move your transmission, or if more firewall clearance is needed, we've added a forward position on our block-side mounts that shifts the drivetrain forward 3/4"...

    Front Windshield

    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08N86NBPL/ I am not an Amazon associate and do not earn any money from the link. Don’t do it right because you did it twice. For the low cost get new lockstrip.

    Needs MORE POWER!!! (Tim Taylor Style!!!)

    If I wanted to go fast I’d get a 2wd and start from there. Less weight, moving parts. Lower center of gravity and handles better.

    K5 Blazer repaint cap body color or white? How to remove fading paint on fiberglass.

    Just sayin that Softopper makes a tan top for the K5. Head to a boat supply shop and get a product made for fiberglass.

    Glass lock strip replacement

    Yes you can replace just the lock strip. A lock strip tool makes it fairly easy with some soapy water to help. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/pqp-prp-0002

    1" ORD body lift

    Kert closed up DIY4X last year. Shame as his products usually came powdercoated.

    K5 bed floor level under carpet

    I assume that you are talking about the cargo area? Cut some butyl noise dampener into strips that will lay into the valleys.

    interior rehab

    In Northern Nevada where the OP is at you’ll be lucky to have cell reception let alone an internet connection on your phone. The satellite radio doesn’t have those issues. Sirius platinum cost $5 month.

    K5 rear window sash orientation

    In your second picture, flip it over. That little L bracket with the holes should be facing up with the tailgate down, or towards the interior with the tailgate closed.

    Busted rear shock mount

    Since forever. It’s the vapors that burn. I would do the suggestion above with welding it. Use a support washer like this https://barnes4wd.com/products/repair-weld-washer-5-8 And a brace from off-road design...
