Hey ya'll!
New member here. Im sure ya'll get this question alot but what are ya'lls opinions on running gear and suspension setup for my 81' K20. I'd like to have it very capable off-road crawling, some muddin, and also be able to take her out to town now and then. She's all torn apart at the moment but I still have all the original 4 bolt main 350, th400/np208 and corp 10 bolt front and 14 bolt rear i believe, May have to double check on that. She's sitting on 315/75r16's (basically 35s) with stock gearing (whatever that may be). But ive recently picked up a Sm465/np205 full manual swap that im gonna be goin through here in a couple days. What are ya'lls thoughts on a doubler or different axles or gearing, steering boxes, 4 linking, etc. Im open to anyones suggestions as long as it dont cost an arm and a leg. Not a great welder but im sure this project will make me very familiar with welding lol. Rather put in alot of elbow grease than break the bank. Shoot me some pics of ya'lls rigs. Here's mine at the moment.
