Re: 2wd vs 4wd rear suspension question

As best I can tell, a stock C20 with the HD springs is about the same ride height as a stock K20. I think the way to go is to get a K20 donor truck, and weld the mounting brackets and cross member into my Suburban frame. Get the front all set up at stock ride height, then adjust the back to match. I imagine that will entail moving the rear cross member aft a few inches to keep the rear wheels centered in the wheel arches. The truck already has a 2 piece drive shaft, so I imagine I'd just need to measure and order a longer aft section of the drive shaft. Id also replace the stock panhard rod with an adjustable one to center everything up.
