Hello, I am pretty new to this site, and the whole "Prerunner/desert truck" scene. And I am wanting my new to me truck to have a little bit better suspension for jumping etc. I am currently gathering all of the missing parts, I have a 4.8 and th400 that will be going in.It is a 78 chevy C20. used to have a 454/th400, but the motor was pulled and the cab floor are quite rusty.
So you may ask, what are my goals?
I want this truck to handle jumps better. that is it, plain and simple. I have had plenty of trucks and cars, and all stock suspension and I am getting tired of having a sore back after jumping my vehicles.
I want to do this as cheaply as possible, I will be putting a cage in and boxing the frame. cage will be much later though, I do not care if I get more travel, but it would be nice. I have a idea to convert the front end to a coilover. using stock control arms.
Does anybody have any ideas? Anybody have some old Long travel or Mid travel arms they would sell me?
Thanks
