Convince me to keep the K5 please!

Ah, who am I kidding...

Keeping the K5, going with a radius arm front suspension with a dodge style coil over shock setup, and some new spring bushings out back on the 52s. Gonna go buy some proper offset wheels and wider / bigger tires this weekend to make her more stable, and re-gear to 5.13s to match.

Nice!!
 
All I get when I drive the K5 on the street is red and blue lights behind me with cops checking registration / insurance and exhaust volume :P never get any blondes with boobs following me around in parking lots!

Russ that's why you have to get a girl with a K5. It works out pretty well I might add. My K5 is in resurrection mode right now, so I just cruse hers.
 
Glad to see your keeping the k5 and your not alone being the only fullsize in a jeep dominated group. The local club Im a member of is all jeeps except me and a couple toyota's, the jeep guys are always amazed at how well my truck works for being an ol leaf spring truck and that it will squeeze down their jeep trails. I tell them all the time that its sheetmetal and they make it everyday.
 
Well, I have the wheel and tire problem solved now... Need to do some trimming for the 37x13x16 boggers I am now running on a 4" lift. The rear needs new bushings, which I am going to replace next weekend... Leaves me needing to re-gear to 5.13 and get my ARBed 14 bolt SF in the rear, get the crossover steering adapted to the D60 and get a coil link suspension going on up front...
