4 eyes needs help ......69 GMC

[Jodymc10]

I just got hell of a deal on a 69 GMC. I have stripped it down and starting the rebuild. I am wanting to do a disc brake conversion on the front, but want to keep it 6 lug.
The real question is.....what is a good drop combo for the front-back? 3"-5"?

I dont want to cut anything to make the drop, shackles, leaf spring and drop spindles would be the way to go. Is that possible? or is there a different combo? I know 2 1/2 spindles are what I see for sale on most sites, but I think I would like it a little lower than 2 1/2 in front.

What is a good tire/wheel size to get? I would like to use Ralley Sport rims..maybe 10" on back and 8" in front. I have seen several trucks that I like that have this set up.

Also....I am trying to do this as cheep as possible. What is the best??


Thanks!
Jody
