For my '69 GMC 2500. Can I swap to a 1/2 ton suspension?? I heard the rear leafs on a 1/2 ton are a shorter length. What about the front suspension?? I also wanna swap rear axle 8 lug to a 1/2 ton axle 5 lug and the front to 5 lug, too. I also wanna lower the truck 2"/4" for a level stance. I know this may be asking alot but the truck has been in my family since the 70s and was handed down to me so a 2500 is what I have. Thanks.
