68 stepside Need to slam HELP!

What springs do you recommend, and what is a good drop height. I have a stock 68 chevy truck and could I still drop it even though I still have the drum set ups. How important are drop spindles? What kind of shocks if I just go springs? I plan on getting the the conversion kit and leaving it 6 Lug. The truck is so old the lug pattern has come back to style....The body is coming along....but I would like to drop to improve handling and of course the look. Once I'm into the job what else do you recommend be replaced since the truck is appart...

www.earlyclassic.com has every thing you need, drop springs, shocks, etc.. 2-3'' in the front is o.k. but if you are planning on doing a disc brake conversion anyways I would rather have drop spindles. That would be a good time to do ball joints, tie rods and check your control arm cross shafts if your front is worn.
