Duramax swap - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

So I've got a 2 wheel drive 72 blazer sitting around along with a wrecked 06 2 wheel drive standard cab Duramax,bent the frame.

Curious on the people's ideas on the weight issue,I would think I could swap in some stiffer coil springs to support the massive weight the dmax Allison would add.

Would a person really need to box the frame? I've seen many big block and hi horse applications thrown into these rigs without major frame modifications.

Whatcha think people's?
