I am going with the c4 suspension and got the crossmember from Flat Out Engineering. There are no complaints from me on the design or the strength, being made of 2x4. In the front it should work just as good as your truck seeing as corvettes had the weight of the v8's and 11 in rotors for 84-87 and 12 in on 88-96. Plus you will get rack and pinion steering.
