Re: 72 k20
Life is changing in some huge ways. I’ve taken a new power plant related job in Albuquerque and will be starting down there before the month is over. Not going to be much wrenching this summer or for a good while it seems. In preparation I pulled the drivers rear shock mount out so I can weld the stud to the bracket and fix it for good hopefully. Gonna miss oil and gas significantly but am excited for the new career twist.
I’ll upload a picture later, the site isn’t letting me do it currently.

Re: 72 k20
Thanks guys, I will be commuting alone at first and staying the week in ABQ while leaving my family at our current home. We will be moving down there asap as the job requires it for on call reasons within the plant. We aren’t planning to live in ABQ but rather somewhere near by to be determined.

Re: 72 k20
Put the old Mickey Thompson classic II’s and 315/75/16’s from my 98 K2500 onto my K20. Looks like a whole new beast!

Re: 72 k20
All the best to you and your family with the new job and move. Truck looks great on the 35's. Sits pretty level with what you did.

Re: 72 k20
Thanks man, I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. Just a slight rake to the front. Heres a pic of it in the hills earlier today.

Re: 72 k20
Right on! Personally, I like a bit of squat in the back on a 4x4.

Re: 72 k20
I ran it up to 70 earlier today and not a hint of death wobble which is the one thing I was worried about in the back of my mind. I’m really pleased with it.
