2.5 spindles are the norm for 72 and earlier trucks.
You could convert to 73 and newer ball joints and tie rod ends and use a BellTech 3 inch spindle for 73 and up trucks. 5 inches in the back is easy to use springs. See ECE for the full list of goods to drop the rear of one of these trucks.

I believe LMC has a 3/5 kit in their book. www.lmctruck.com However, I personally am leaning toward the ECE 2.5/4 setup because I think it is better. www.earlyclassic.com Haven't compared prices yet but ECE stuff is American made and comes with a great warranty. Alot of LMC stuff seem to come from mexico and overseas. Fit and finish may be ok but I am a little concerned about the lesser quality raw materials.
Oh yeah, and I think ECE also has a 4/6 kit that will really slam it if you want. Nixon
