Thanks for letting me join the group. My rig is a 89 suburban its 6.0/4L60E swapped. 7 inch ord lift on 37's. Its my daily driver/camping/bugout/overlanding rig. Right now its down waiting on warmer weather to get the fresh trans in it. So im going to take the opportunity while its "put up for the winter" lol, to collect up some parts an materials to get the rockers cut out an 2x6 steel put in place, to strengthen the body an add some protection.

Let's talk about brakes. Specifically 14b disc brake conversions. I know about ruff stuff and lug Nutt 4x4, but the newer chevy 14b has 2 piston calipers. Anyone converted to them yet? Also, anyone running bigger front brakes?

What are you all working in this weekend. Any progress going to be happening on the squares. I’m finally starting my front 57” Spring swap on this beast. And swapping to a 91 style front because I destroyed my last core support.

Stayed up late last night and finished the driver-side bracket mock-up — and I’m seriously loving how it turned out. Yeah, it’s a little bulky, but it has to be. This bracket drops the shackle under the frame, ties into the body mount, and adds strength where these K5 frames really need it. We’re running a factory-length rear style HD shackle up front (around 4–4.5”), hoping the shorter design keeps side-to-side deflection down and helps stability. The 3-inch leaf springs might be soft, but we’ll know more once it’s on its own weight. If needed, I’ll add a leaf. Still gotta measure pinion shim angle once everything is sitting right. Bracket #1 is done — onto the passenger side next. What do you guys think of this setup so far?
