Did this today inspired by your video. Made a huge difference in ride quality along with replacing worn out bushings. Thanks for taking the time to document so clearly and thoroughly. All the best!

Nice video man.
I'm still planning my first square body build (k5 blazer), and my focus is the ride quality and steering.
If you don't mind can you give me your opinion with my plan so far:
- leveling kit
- cross steering
- custom leaf spring from ORD
- bilstein shocks
And i believe the sway bar disconnect would be a nice addition to the plan.
Thank you for your time and keep up the good work. 👍

Thank you for the feedback!
Overall, this looks like a good plan. I believe the majority of the crossover steering kits I've seen require an aftermarket sway bar. If you go with ORDs crossover steering, you have to replace your stock swaybar for sure. Their aftermarket swaybar includes the disconnect kit with it, which is probably the best option.
The custom leaf springs / leveling kit are pretty much one in the same. But, should greatly improve ride quality.
If you're looking for the greatest improvement, ORD does make a front coilover conversion kit. But it's very expensive $$ and requires quite a bit of modification to work.
Bilstein shocks are a great option.
Hope this helps.

I searched the coilover conversion but as you said they are too expensive and it requires a lot of modification.
Thank you for your time.

Why didn't you change the bushing in the swaybar?????

[@midatlanticcustoms]

Bushings were replaced on the truck a couple thousand miles ago. Didn't need replacement
