Lowering (with air suspension in mind)

You would likely use a 73-87 drop spindle with 1.25 rotors and 5x5 bolt pattern. Are you wanting to go 5 lug or keep it a 6 lugger?

I want to go 5 lug, and yes it's a '68. Thanks for your response, this is exactly the information I was looking for. I am, however, curious why I'd go with the 73-87 spindles as opposed to a '68 setup? Is there a particular kit that you (or anyone) would recommend?
