Hello just stopping in to browse a bit. Just picked up this 85 k20. Drove it home today loving the truck. It needs new shoes and i would like to upgrade a bit bigger. Thinking about doing new leaf springs as well. any recommendations will be accepted for size.

Are you really going to let that Dawg drive your truck?

I have also been researching new leaf springs. That can turn into a confusing and never ending search.

Welcome and good luck with your new to you truck.

Welcome. Here's my old K20 from the early 90's. 4" lift with 33x12.50's. Modern 305/70R16's are about the same size.
