Just a heads up on something i didn't see in the thread.The later model wheels may not have the correct backspacing for your truck.If you do all the machine work to hog out the centers and then they have the wrong offset.........

Also factory drum brake 6 lug wheels don't clear a disc setup unless they are the 73 up rally style or 4X4.

Hotchkis,... thanks for replying directly to this question.
Have you installed any of your 4" drop front springs with a "stock" oem lower control arm?
I notice your pics show your tubular a-arms installed.

BTW,... nice truck and very nice a-arms!
