Period correct wheels for 86 K10 Stepside?

[mcarlo86]

Yeah, the more I think about it the more I think I'll leave the stance alone. It doesn't ride great currently, but I'm hoping that's because of the pictures below (front bushings issue) and maybe the mudders?

Should I see a noticeable improvement in the ride switching from M/T to A/T (assuming same size, 33"). Or will it just be a reduction in noise?

How much air is in the tires?

I will respectfully disagree with @TotalyHucked , the spring quality will make a much bigger impact on ride quality than tires. An "E" load tire will ride MUCH better with a quality spring than a lighter load tire used with a stiff spring.

Which BTW, it looks like the front springs might be Rough Country. They tend to be very stiff.

I’ll probably bring it to an off-road shop near me who does a lot of lifts and see what they can tell by looking at it. Maybe they can suggest something softer if I keep the height. I will look at the shocks and see if there’s any branding too.

That I would agree with, I was just saying when considering tires alone that's the general rule. I definitely agree that springs make the biggest ride difference, I'm just not versed in 4wd squares enough to provide any recommendations or anything
