What's going on with my suspension

[McGeesCustomMinis]

I had the same problem. 72 1/2 ton with factory big block. Previous owner installed 3" drop springs in the front and rear. They were for a small block and c10 in the rear. Burb was riding on the bump stops when I bought it. So I thought I would do it right and ordered 1/2 ton drop spindles and ball joints, bearings, rotors, tie rods. I wanted to freshen it all up. Mine was 5 lug as well. Well none of the new stuff fitted. I did the reverse and actually put 1/2 ton arms up front so I could use all the new stuff. The 1/2 ton outer tie rods with couplers worked with the 3/4" ton inner tie rods thank god.
