Going back to a full size

[tegillen]

Sold my k5 3 years ago and got a TJ on tons. Had fun with it but miss the square body. Picked up a 85 k30 cab and chassis. Going with 40s , 4.56 gears and detroits. I will do Hydro assist and a doubler. What is the leaf spring package of choice these days. I am thinking 52s front and 63 rear with a shackle flip. Going to shorten it to 120 wb. Anything better with out breaking the bank. I dont see that linking it will get me any more travel ? Thanks for the input. I lost track of the white and grey blazer build. Heard it is a buggy now

Probably go 5.13s with those 40s
63s seem to axle wrap a lot. I’d recommend 57 or 58” Ford springs. I used 58
