Short bed Tow rig ?'s

[Rokcrln]

I am picking up a 70 1/2ton Long bed truck this weekend that is going to be my new tow rig/shop truck. It will be getting shortened to a SWB as well. I know a long bed would tow better but it just aint going to happen. So this truck is a leaf spring truck that I think will handle towing better than a coil (load wise) but my question is what is the best route for lowering this and still keeping it for towing? I know some people do a flip kit, c-notch, de-arch, pull leafs and many other ways. I do not want this truck in the weeds but I do want it to have a nice look and be obvious it has been lowered. I am thinking about a 5/6 static drop will do just fine for my needs on this one. What about fliping the leaf hanger side to side so instead of holding the spring below the hangers it would now be above? Any thoughts? Then for the front I will just go with drop spindles and springs and it is already a 5 lug disk.

Lets see what we can all come up with for a SWB tow rig and for as little $ as posible. Not because I have too but I think it will be fun to try and keep this one as cheap as posible. I will be doing a full build thread with all reciepts included to see what we come up with.

Thanks for your thoughts!
