I was able to pick up the 74' full convertible blazer. The plan is to use the top, windshield frame, rocker boxes and doors to graft onto my body which is in way better condition. I do have a question for the group. I want to add Amp Research electric running boards to this build. I saw a guy on Youtube mounting up a set but have been unable to find the model of the step. Amp Research will not help. They say its something to do with their insurance B/S...can you guys point me in the right direction on these steps?
ORD custom springs or ORD coilover front suspension system? What will be the most versatile suspension system?
The coilover system is the direction that I would go if I had the money. From what I have heard, it drive well everywhere.

I can’t vouch personally for the longevity of the ORD 4 link because I just installed it, but I can say it’s tough from the ditches I hit at 40mph haha. I loved my ORD springs (52’s) before the swap. My only complaint is they are so flexy the bushings take a severe beating and with the 40’s and a dana 60 there is too much unsprung weight for them to control side to side (needs trackbar) = 4-link.
I have maybe 8k on the coil over system, 99% of the time the truck is on the street. I don't have a sway bar and my caster angle isn't set the greatest but I have zero issues. I have driven my truck for hours down the highway going 80 and don't hesitate.
I do have a little bit of a issue in the curves only because my rear suspension has shocks for something of more weight. It will tend to feel like the rear lifts and steers into the corners.
