Hello all. I have a 1977 K10 that im going to be doing a 52 inch front/shackle flip rear for a 4 inch lift. Im using diy4x.com front B52 brackets and shackle kit. The goal is to attain the ride and not necessarily the lift but the lift is a bi-product of the ride... blah blah blah

Im trying to figure out a list of parts im going to need to complete this (ie steering box, stabilizer bar, and of course the 52 inch springs) as well as any tips and tricks for installation.

Also if anyone has a link as to the procedure that would be great.

Brake hoses, shocks and the driveshaft will all need to be considered as the current ones likely do not have enough travel.

Is the axle staying in the stock position? Bump steer from the push / pull steering will get a lot worse the shorter the drag link gets.

The sway bar may / may not work based on axle position.
