help on front end kit and drop kit - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a 70 c-10 1/2 ton and Im looking for a complete front end rebuild kit. Im trying to find the most complete one that is sold and trying to find the cheapest at the same time. Does anyone recommend or dissaprove of the poly bushings? I also want to drop my truck 3/5. Should I go with just springs, or should I get the spindles as well? Whats the best kit for the best price for this? It has coil springs by the way. Any help or suggestions are appreciated. Thanks guys for the help.

I did a 3-5 spring drop and the rides a little harsh.

ECE sells a great kit. I bought their drop kit, and the frontend parts from autozone for the warranty. I've got a 2.5 / 4 drop and it rides rough. After looking under the chassis a bit, I think I might need shock relocators.

I'm curious to hear who sells an entirely poly kit. I saw something on classic performance products, but wasn't sure just what was polyurethane. I assume that ball joints and tie rod ends are no different from stock in a kit like that.
