Re: Front suspension question for Cummins swap

If you use a D60 and stock height, you will need oil pan mods and things will be tight. Like Ryan said, a 2.5" lift you can get by with. I have rough country 4" lift springs on the longhorn, and these springs were previously on my brother's 88 V30 which had a cummins. They handled fine. I wouldn't hesitate buying any from skyjacler, rough country, or even using a heavy duty 4 spring stock replacement, but the ride will suffer greatly with those.
