57 chevy 3100 I.F.S Help

I am planning on replacing the original front end on my Chevy 3100 pick-up. I have been told that the new IFS including power steering and disc brakes will lower my truck 3-4 inches, which is something I don't want. Is there a way around this with the available kits that are out there?

It would be best to find out exactly what they have planned for your truck.

It is your truck so make sure it gets done the way you want it the first time.

Could get expensive if you have to do things two or three times to get what you want.

Good luck on your truck.
