Hello, I recently brought home an awesome high-optioned 1983 K30 Silverado. It has a newish 4" Skyjacker lift that I want to replace with stock. Is there someone that can do the work, or can recommend a good mechanic that can do the work? Hopefully within a days drive of Frederick Maryland. Ideally someone that has the parts or can get the parts. Partial trade of the Skyjacker kit. The kit has 4" blocks in the back, shackles front and back, front leaf springs, all four shocks, and a pitman arm. The wheels are wide stock looking power coated white with LT305/70R16 TOYO M/T tires. I'd like to trade those for stock 16" wheels in restorable condition. I have good dog dishes already. Thank you!

Send some pics of that ride! I can do the work in a few weeks but I'm in Central NC. 6 hours or so from Frederick.

Thanks for the reply. The timing might be perfect. I'm still making it road worthy. Central NC is within striking distance... Here's some pics:

Thanks for the reply.
That's a great looking truck, I especially LOVE those wheels and tires. It appears the rear shackle on the front has been replaced as well as the springs and the factory style steering/draglink to the steering. I have all the factory style stuff if you don't find anyone local to help.

That's fantastic. When you're ready, I can bring the truck to you and trailer my Colorado. Take the Colorado and trailer back and await your call. If you have four of the stock wheels, I can pick them up soonest (16" 8 lug x 6.5 pattern, center bore is a little less than 5". Have them refinished and put new tires on them. If you want the existing wheels and tires, and any of the Skyjacker parts, perhaps they can go towards bill. If calling or texting works better I'm at 2zero2 dash 295 dash 785zero. Thank you,

Howdy from Ohio!

That wheel/tire combo is awesome too! Although I do understand the desire for 100% stock.
