That’s kind of what I’m going for. Would like 33 or 35, I will be taking of my front bumper and putting in a skid plate or something along those roads

I might do that eventually but I might try to use 2500 brakes first and gmt800 master cylinder, also stainless brake lines..

That's a good question. I just kept mine all oem style. Figured they've lasted this long. Kept the original springs too just swaped sides

I used Energy Suspension bushing set. Yes, they squeak for a bit, but if you keep them lubed it eventually goes away and they will last much longer. Replace all your front end parts, you will be happy with the results. Also go with the 4/1 leafs if you will do any towing. Replace your body bushings with poly while you are at it.

If you want to install polyurethane suspension bushings, I'd stay away from PST (Performance Suspension Technology). I replaced all of my susp. bushing with poly bushings on my '93 C2500 from them. Truck rode like I was going down the road on the rims after. Replaced the cab to frame poly bushings with OEM and it's now barely tolerable. Still rides way too stiff, but I'm not about to do the that job again.
