    Swapping 4wd front axle to 2wd IFS

    Can't seem to wrap my head around what ur trying to accomplish with the swap. What's wrong with the current solid axle setup on the k30? What from the k30 are u wanting to keep? Cab swap even motor swap sounds more do able if ur set on a 2wd. As stated previously in this thread the d60 front...

    79 k30 steering rebuild

    Just wanted to check in, I ended up replacing front wheel bearings. One of the races had a weird groove in it. Sry no pic. Also had the rotors resurfaced. Finally seems to consistently stop without wobble. Turning and braking are near impossible sometimes due to the power steering pump failing...

    79 k30 steering rebuild

    Too much work haven't had time to wrench, been drivin the ol crewcab everyday. Have plans to put him in the shop for front brake work this week. Pretty sure it's rotor runout or sticky caliper causing the wobble now. Only shakes when braking. Found a place to rebuild steering box for $100 and...

    79 k30 steering rebuild

    The frame n steering gear box were checked when the steering brace from ORD was installed. Is there a way I can inspect the steering gear again? Steering isn't loose but it's slowly getting moar out of alignment. The steering gear is one of the few unreplaced parts. Rotor runout sounds very...

    79 k30 steering rebuild

    I'm not saying rebalancing and a second alignment didn't help but the shake is still there. It really only does it when I'm on the brake now. Not severe enough to make normal driving dangerous but still there non the less. I checked, my mechanic checked, and the alignment shop double checked...

    79 k30 steering rebuild

    Bad news.... Had a death wobble today slowing down from 40mph or so. Not near as severe as before the steering n suspension work. Idk why this is happening. Could the alignment be getting off ? I drive a pretty rough road the last mile to work, maybe something settled or broke in and now the...

    79 k30 steering rebuild

    I agree similar parts can be had for cheaper but I like the quality of ORD n they have good customer support. Drove the truck all week to work n back n I'm very impressed with the ride. Even with hd springs up front it's still soft enough to be comfortable on or off road. After the alignment...

    My thoughts exactly on simple n reliable. I had already ordered 2" lift springs up front n 2.5" shackle flip for the rear. Glad u agree on the 2" lift for a work truck. Also got Hd shackles, greaceable bushings, new shocks, steering brace kit, sway bar bushings. Do the hummer wheels n tires...

    New from MN

    ORD says the 6 inch lift springs are hd and work for big block applications. My research says to properly fit 37s you'll need an 8 inch lift even for a k30. The wheel offset and back space are going to make or break what size tire you can make fit
