front end swap. HELP - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I took the 70 drum brake system and installed it on my 72. The front end now sits higher than before and my caster adjustment is way off. I am swaping all the parts because I am selling the 72. I had to heat the front coils and let the front end drop an inch just to get it close. Do I need to buy new coils? I did switch from 235/75/15 to 275/60/15 in the front so It does drive different but steering in just not the same. Any thoughts.
