Disc brake conversion advise

Looking for advise. Going to add disc brakes with drop spindles and keep stock height springs on my 68 Stepside. Will I be able to use stock front shocks? Thanks

Yes, you will be able to use stock length shocks. Drop spindles do not alter the front end geometry because the only change is the spindle wheel shaft is cast higher. If you haven’t decided on a drop spindle brand, I would suggest ECE, made in the USA!!

Re: Disc brake conversion advise

Thanks for the feedback. At this time I have drums and a 2/4 static drop. I'm in hopes of converting to disc front with a power booster. ECE is always highly recommended and I plan on checking them out.
