Question Just Another Suspension Question

Hey guys, I'm in the process of rebuilding the front suspension on my 70 c10. I need to order upper,lower ball joints, and Shocks what do you guys recommend i go with? Now Here is where it gets interesting, I am going to run the drum brake set up until i can afford a drop spindle disc brake kit. Will i have to re-purchase new shocks when i do this upgrade?

Any and all advice is appreciated

For 2wd I use Moog ball joints, Monroe or KYB shocks. Should not need to replace the shocks if doing a spindle only drop.

Only ratbestos products I have used are brake related. Did not know they made ball joints. rockauto.com usually has great deals on Moog.

Re: Just Another Suspension Question

The video looks like they made a better mouse trap, and maybe they have. Try them and give us a review after some miles.
