Step 1 to becoming bagged

[jlaird]

I'm going to be bagging my 69 c10 and need some advice. I'm just concerned about the front for now. I will be using Slam bags for the front and lowered spindles. My 69 has the stock 6 lug drums in the front. I'll be doing the disc conversion, but not sure what approach to take. I don't want to switch out the whole crossmember. Should I find a-arms and steering linkage from a 73-87, or should I (can I) switch out my balljoints and use my existing arms? Getting new tubular a-arms is out of the question right now.

My other question (more out of curiosity) is why are 2.5" and 3" lowering spindles made? Is there a difference besides the obvious? Does that extra half an inch cause any problems? Just wondering...

Thanks for any help you can provide.
