Im in the process of gathering parts to redo my frame once school is out. Im going to lower it and do discs up front and change to 5 lug. I already have dropped front spindles, dropped rear springs, rotors and parts off a 71 truck, and a C-notch kit. Im going to get dropped front springs soon also. I think I will need shocks for a lowered truck too..

What are some basic things that you think should be done when redoing a suspension?
Anything that helps handling/performance, whatever.
Thanks
Pat
