Help With 3/4 Ton Drop !

Hey guy's,

Would someone be so kind to give a hand to Doug, He posted in the 88/98 section. I'm just not up to speed on 3/4's....

The guy at Summit told me it is the same flip kit for both 1/2 and 3/4 ton trucks. It has 5 leaf in back and 6 lug wheels. Is the front the same as a half ton? I guess I just don't know the specifics of the rotor size, control arms, etc... Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Doug
Thanks !
