Looking for advice on suspension updates - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I plan to lower my front end 2-1/2 via drop spindles, will be updating to disc and power brakes in the process. Plan to leave the rear end stance as it is.

What I want to learn about is how to go about smoothing out the ride. It would be stupid to re-install the old front springs when I have the front suspension apart. Does it come down to springs and shocks? Truck does not have stabilizer bars either.

Look forward to all of those expert opinions!
