Re: Toying with an idea...??

engine, transmission and brakes doesn't worry me very much.
Neither does body, the work i did with my 72 jimmy took 2.5 years but it was straight forward once i got into it. I had a good base with a truck that wasn't too rusty.

But suspension is something i am not very comfortable with. And if i would try to make a modern daily driver out of a 72 blazer suspension would be high on the list. i would like for it to drive like a modern car with proportional steering, cruise control, and none of that scary body roll if i have to turn hard if i'm cut off in traffic.

i assume coil over suspension and modern sway bars will make it ride like a modern car? But are there proven kits that work? Or do i have to experiment until i find something that work? This is what worries me, i have zero experience in this area.
