'86 Jimmy 4in Lift, 40’s, tons, 8.1 Swap- 700r4 said PNNNNN

This is not a dedicated trail rig, but does trailer to the destination usually. I am currently in the planning phase of doing a 52/56" spring swap, and getting back to being more road worthy.
This thing did awesome on Saturday. Still need to figure out why it doesn't want to idle on it's own. The rewiring of the efans has paid off greatly. No over heating issues all day. The new shackles helped a lot with keeping the axle under the truck. No more spring knocking on the frame. Swapping the diff cover out this week before heading to my boss' house this weekend for more fun.

Loaded up Friday night about 8:30.

Okay now I get an idea of how big my k5 will be, slightly taller than yours.... and the funny part. I've gathered almost everything to SAS a 2wd 2500/3500 '95-'00 GM truck. Honestly how does it tow? I'm selfish and probably gonna just do a reg cab long bed and when the 350 lets go swap a 5.3 in. Figured the 4L80e would last find with 285s and 4.10s.

The Crew cab tows great. Only thing it really needs is some air bags in the rear. Other than that I am really happy with it.
