For those asking ... I just had my front retubed, cost me ~$100. Had to go longer than stock for the front 52" springs.
If that's good or bad, I donno ... steel costs being what they are, I can't blame the guys. I picked 'em as (1) they're 5 minutes away from me, and (2) they could redo the shaft the day before I load up the K5 onto the trailer for BlazerBash.
Now we'll see if the thing holds up or if I need some sort of high-zoot super angle deal.
