I'm building my own but as for specs I'll be building a jig of sorts from another stock k-frame.

Why not find someone with an aftermarket set-up you like and just copy their K Frame.... :dunno:

 I'm keeping the torsion bars, going front steer with a rack and lowering the LCA mounting points 2" maybe more if I can without altering the torsion bar sockets in the chassis.
