I converted my 70 GMC 2500 to a half ton. I used drop spindles for a 1/2 ton with disk brakes and replaced all ball joints using 1/2 ton parts. All parts bolted in with no mods.

In the back I replaced the leaf springs with RideTech Strong Arm rear suspension. I removed all the leaf spring hangers too. I also removed the 3/4 ton rearend and replaced it with a rearend from a 72 1/2 ton C10.

Truck is bagged on all for corners.

There is no need to replace the cross member from a newer truck.

I don't remember if I replaced the tierod ends or not. That was 20 years ago.
