As for ride height - I really don' think you can go any lower than the way my build was, in the front. There's just not enough room to clear the suspension up front. The D60 front axle is TALL and even if you bolted it onto a K10 it would still be about 2" of lift just from that, nevermind the tires.

I remember reading the power steering pump clearance issue you had. I'm sure we will probably run into the exact same thing using the square body motor mounts & cross member. We did keep the pump and brackets off the K3500 so maybe that will help?
I'm aware the D60 is tall and am trying to keep my build as low as yours is. We are thinking we could live with that height just fine!
