Yeah I’m just trying to wrap my head around it.

I’ve watched rtech fabrications YouTube video on the k50 crew cab several times and I know for a fact now that he uses the factory spring hangers at least for the front but I think the rear as well.

The video shows the front end completed before he puts the axle in and it has the unique front leaf spring hangers these trucks have.

The frames are a little narrower than the light duty trucks but taller. I may have to wait until I can actually be around one in person.

This is fun looking at what could be. I’m wanting this truck to be my daily and be buried with because I just can’t justify 70k for a new diesel. When for 70k I could have my own unique ride.
