I like the look of the porterbilt stuff but by the time you get it all, you've almost got the cost of a full chassis, with only some of the benefits. Almost everyone I've talked to that has gone DEEP in suspension on a C10, have all said doing it again they'd have just done a frame.

I've talked to Rob at NL quite a bit at LS Fest the past several years and many friends have used their frames on multiple projects (one friend is on his 3rd project with a NL chassis).

NL offers chassis with "normal" ride height, no modifications needed to bed floor etc, that is probably an excellent option and they start around $11-12k if i'm not mistaken, with brakes and axles, etc all included in that price. Affordable options for adding fuel lines, brake lines, and tanks as well.

I'm LS Swapping my C10 right now as part of what i'm calling "Phase 1." Phase 2 is a NL chassis and likely to start that next year.

I agree with "total sum of parts" equaling what a full chassis would cost. I just took what you said as far as ditching the front and rear chassis parts. So, I took that as just doing a front crossmember and rear end swap. As others have stated...No Limit does make a good chassis.
