drop spindle capabilities.

Hello out there.
I really enjoy reading all they great forums for repairs and projects.
I get some great information and ideas from all you out here.
I have a project of my own on the way and would like some info on the front spindles.
First off My truck is a 1980 GMC 2wd 3/4 crew cab very very clean start only 80 thousand km with not rust what so ever.
I have shortened it for my short box now I am about to order a drop kit for it.
I am only going 4 Front 5 Back.
Bell tech has a kit 967ND for a 1 ton truck.I cant find one for my 3/4 ton.
I am with the understanding that the front spindles are the same between the two trucks.I don't have a 1 ton dually to compare the two was hoping someone here would know if this kit will work for my truck.
Thanks for any help you can provide and I will try and post some pics.

Re: drop spindle capabilities.

When you get into suspension the 3/4 and 1 ton should be the same. The main difference between the 2 should be the drive train for towing capabilities.

Use C30 drop spindles, and calipers. C20 use different calipers, but both use hr same rotor.

Use all your stock brakes. They are expensive though.

Airbaggit/AIM/Chassis Tech makes a shackle and hanger kit. I normally wouldn't recommend their stuff but the kit I have looks fine.
