Hey there, i'm gonna be replacing the front springs on a 78 K30 custom deluxe frame. going from the negative arch that is stock to a positive arch and hoping to gain about 2 inches of lift to level the truck out. Anyone got any ideas for what springs to use and those to stay away from.!! Also does any body have input on a rebuild kit for a Dana 60 for this same truck?? Part numbers etc. don't want a chinese junker kit. thanks!!

Lol, No! I'm just kidding!

What's the budget? What engine? How will the truck be used? How concerned are you with ride quality?

going to put my M715 body on it, not gonna be a wheeler, maybe a logging road or 2.350 small block,4 speed and 205 t-case.. not too worried about ride quality, just want to get the front end up a bit to get rid of the usual droop thes have with the negative arch springs
