Will my crossmember drag?

Hi all. I have a SWB 68 c10. I plan to do a 4/6 drop and do the power disc conversion. All I plan to do is the drop and slap on the stock wheels and ride. I have a few questions....

Will my stock steel wheels fit over the disc brakes?

And my main concern is will I have problems dragging the crossmember?

I have tried searching but the search button just frustrates me

15" 'drum brake' spec'd wheels will not clear the disc brake calipers. You'll have to space them out or swap to some wheels that fit disc applications.

The front x-member won't drag w/a 4" front drop & appropriate size front tire height (>27").

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

How about the carrier bearing? That was my main concern. Will any of that drag?

Truck arm x-member? It won't even come close @ 6/8 drop.
