Hmm, just me but I'd sell it and get a heavier chassis.
I like the 2wd for towing and fuel economy, but a big block or diesel and at least 3/4 ton would be best.
Older Fords can make good tow rigs, I've seen alot of guys using those. I'm just not sure it would be worth trying to beef up a 93 chevy. The front would get kinda expensive to build up I think, but I could be wrong.

Keep it and do a SFA? Upgrade the rear to 14bolt FF. Or you could keep it 6 lug, still do the ff and use the Bling Bling Grady's 6 lug hubs. If you do keep it, definately upgrade to 3/4 rear springs &/or airbags. One downside to the upgrade would be that you will still have the 4160E
I think it would be easier to buy a different truck. I went from a '98 Dodge 1/2 ton 4x4 to a '92 GMC 1 ton dually 4x4 and actually paid much less for the GMC. It tows much better too. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Had to search for a while to find it. Really wanted a Crew Cab. Had to "Settle" for an extended cab. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Now I want to steal parts from my project vehicle to put on the DD/Tow rig. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif I still think the D60 and Hummer beadlocks would look great on it. /forums/images/graemlins/pimp1.gif
