Re: K30 Downgrade to Cummins Project

Pics. Picked up a used 2 ton hoist off Craigs. Cut the engine x member carefully and now it looks like I need to cut the one just behind the core support. Hoping to get by without a lift, but just a set of Airlift airbags on front axle. Rear already has Airlift. I just don't want a tall tow rig and it sits fairly high already with the tall 1 ton frame and 285/75/16's I'm planning on.

Wheels on engine hoist are crap, need to upgrade them before I do much more. Have to kick it side to side or put a pliers on them to get them to swivel.
