Drum brake '65 seeks attractive front end drop....

Hello All,

I posted this in the suspension foprum and didn't get any bites -- hoping I'll have better luck here.

Looking to drop my '65 c10 front end 3.5" or 4" and I need some advice. I've been reading threads on here for hours and I'm getting lots of conflicting information. How are you successfully dropping your 60-66 front ends without having any clearance issues? I need to do it without converting to disc brakes in the front (wheels are drum only). 2.5" drop spindles and 2" springs would be ideal, but I believe spindles are out of the question because of the drums brakes, correct? My concerns are clearance issues inside my stock inner fender and drivability.

Here are my stats:

236 75/R15 tires
Drum Brakes
15x6" steel wheels with 3.625" backspacing

Thanks a million in advance!
