8 lug drop spindles for 69 chevy 3/4 ton

Hello all,

I have a 1969 3/4 ton 8 lug chevy truck. I am wanting to put disc brakes all the way around, to include 2' drop spindles on the front, and perhaps an air bag setup on the rear. My question is, does anyone make a disc brake drop spindle for an 8 lug, and, since I use the truck from time to time, who makes an air bag ( or other alternative ) rear suspension that will allow me to lower the rear, but still support a little weight if I load it up with wood, steel, or anything else. Lastly, any help on a 8 lug rear disc brake setup would be extremely helpful also.

Thank you for your time...

Lance

Lance use 73-87 3/4 ton drop spindles, the 71-72 and 73-87 3/4 ton spindles are the same, you'll need to use tie rods and ball joints for 71up to install then use 71-87 rotors, calipers & bearings.
We haven't put these together as kits yet for 67-70's but you will find the drop spindles here in our online catalog

We can also have drop springs custom made for your 3/4 ton if it has trailing arms, contact us if interested.
