I'm Awesome
Hello GMT400 family,
Here is where I'm @, my 99 Suburban k1500 needs full brakes, lines & rear axle u-bolts (phase 1), 1 cv axle (torn boot), front sway bar, front shocks & maybe a LCA (heavy scale, metal might be soft) (phase 2).
I was offered a k2500 Suburban rear axle w/ relatively new leaf springs for stupid cheap. This axle has a 4.10 ratio. My Burban is 3.42 ratio.
I need to do the rear brakes & lines anyways. So I'm thinking swapping the k2500 axle in.
Here is what I'm not sure of.
A: Is there a 4.10 8lug IFS front that I can swap in?
If not, I'd be willing to SAS it.
B: My T. Case is the 4button Auto 4x4, either way I'd like to swap out to a NP21.
C: If I SAS it, I'm thinking of using a 90ish 10bolt (does come w/ a 4.10) along w/ a 90-91 np21 (vss). Both pass side drop.
I'm not looking to crazy off-roading w/ it. I want it to very streetable, but be better able to handle some light to mild trails. Camp out of the back when I feel like it.
I am currently running 285/75R16. I want to stay w/ a 16in rim (currently running 00 Tahoe Z71 rims, plan on going w/ steelies) & not go much bigger in tire diameter because I don't want to trim the body or bumper.
So does this sound solid?
If possible, what do I need for an 8lug IFS 4.10 swap (yr & model of donor)?
If SAS, what do I need besides the axle, f. driveshaft, t. case, f. leaf springs?
what is a good donor for the leaf springs?
I hear that off-road design is good, thoughts?
Any factory brake upgrades for the 10-bolt?
Before it's asked, why not use a d60 or even a d44.
A: cost
B: availability
C: I have better access to the 10bolt donors & it's less expensive.
Oh & before I forget, I also have the Hydroboost setup that I removed from a 98 k3500 ccsb that I plan on installing & I already deleted the ABS module.
Thoughts? Ideas? Useful help?
TIA,
Mike
