So I came across this video a while back.
tldw; man removes torsion bars and uses stock shock tabs to install front coil overs.
I spit balled the idea with my father - a veteran mechanic - he says its a dumb idea, since I value the off road capabilities of my K1500, because despite the weight savings you would lose a significant amount of valuable strength when it comes to off-roading with the weight of the vehicle displaced elsewhere. I have a local shop that could easily brace the stock shock tabs professionally and install front coil overs. What do you guys think in respect to 4x4 capabilities with this type of conversion? How would this impact a potential future lift or other modifications one might make?
