a 14bff off a 1 ton truck is a straight bolt up the 3/4 14bff youd have to move the leaf spring perchs

Thanks for the tip, i'll be sure to try to find a 1 ton now...3500 right? A 3/4 is a 2500...???

Welcome, nice looking K5!

Future Plans:

Lower the gearing in the axles, I don't know what it currently is yet. Install heavier axle shafts at least in the rear.

depending on what gears you have now, it would probably be much more cost effective to swap a ff14b rear axle in. It has beefier shafts (and the ff design) already, is dirt cheap and many of them come with 4.10 gears already. It isn't that hard to find used 4.56s or even 4.88s either.

4" susp. lift I think. 4" springs in the front, 6" in the back right?

the most common way to lift is a 4" shackle flip in the rear and an aftermarket 4" lift spring up front. There are lots of different ways to lift a K5, but thats is one of the more common and inexpensive ways to do it. Personally, I run a shackle flip out back and 52" (stock rear springs) in the front of my rig. I did a write up, its in the "technical" section linked on the homepage of ck5 if you were interested.

I want to put 285/75/16 or 315/75/16 all around.

no hablo... whats that in american units? lol!

Congrats on a nice looking 1st Gen!!!


I have to say though, both you and your wife look awfully young...


If you haven't figured it out already....there are plenty of people here who will love to help you spend all your money on mods and changes to that K5.
