i'm just about to this point with my k20 and have some 3/4t 63's and newer 2500 springs as well. i have few questions if you don't mind.

where did you get your new perches and top plates? my local offroad shop is out of them at the moment so i might as well order some.

do you think the rear hanger will interfere with using a modified drop hitch or bumper brackets? i'm wondering if i should use my 2000 model springs for better clearance?

anyways nice truck and pit! my pits 15 yrs old and always been a great shop dog,rick
