Re: C20 to K20 Conversion "Simply Toxic"
I actually didn't touch the leaf spring mounts at all. The rear mounts are still riveted in place, the front spring mount has bolts in it but that is only due to connecting the frame back in the location. This is completely doable with being able to keep the IFS, I have enough room to raise the leaf spring mounts up on the frame so everything sits lower.
My main reason for not wanting to keep the IFS is I have a 2002 2500HD with a lift on it and I love the truck just hate the torsion bar set up. I like the way parallel 4-link handles and performs off-road and on-road.
In short tho, there are other guys doing this swap and keeping IFS, mine is a personal preference for getting rid of it. If your interested in doing this swap and wanting to know more info of what you'll need or anything else feel free to message me. Hope I didn't ramble on too long.
