'82 C10 Rotor question

[metalhead]

I have a '82 C10 short bed 2wd. I plan on lowering it and eventually replacing the 305 with a 454. This truck has the 1" rotors, would it be a good idea to change to the 1 1/4" rotors since I will be changing the spindles? The brake pads are new and the calipers are reman, replaced less than 500 miles ago.
Thanks,
Mark

Thanks, that answered all my questions. I'll probably just stay with the 1" rotors as I won't be towing or hauling, just cruising.
