Should I make the swap to G3?

Thanks for acknowledging this. I don't need guys beating on their chest saying which suspension is best. Opinions are like a$$holes, everyone has one. If simplicity is your reason, that's fine with me.

I think I've made the decision to start collecting parts for the swap. It would be nice to get everything I need and simply make the swap over a weekend. I have a large connector on my firewall for the engine management already. The plan would be make the harness so it can plug into the same connector. I don't think I would need to do any rewire on the firewall side, but that will need some investigation.
At that point, it would be a K member drop out, notch frame rail for alternator and paint, then install new K and engine. Plug in, and start tuning! I'm sure a single weekend is a lofty goal, but I think I could get it pretty close in one weekend.

Depending on the motor front cover/ Alt set up and what K-member you use. You may not have to notch the frame. I didn't :D and I'm also running the filter on the stock 45* offset mount, BUT I did have to notch my oil pan and move my booster 3" so its the small thing you might not think are an issue that ends up being the hiccup.
Also look into the exhaust manifolds that often is a hiccup for swaps. I went through 3 different sets before I found the right fit for my swap..
Good Luck and Hope to see your build thread here soon!
