Seeking suggestions for '69 C-10 Suspension

Thanks for taking the time to review and respond to my thread. I have a 69 C 10 truck project and could use some suggestions for selecting the right components to achieve my end goal of a 4"/6" drop, with disc brake conversion for the front.

To get the 4" drop for front suspension I am considering drop spindles and springs.

Q: Are the stock A-Arms compatible with 2.5" drop spindles and 1.5" drop springs?

Q: What brand or manufacturer would you suggest I use?

Q: Is the stock location of the shock mounts any issue?

As for the rear suspension, I have already c-notched the frame and plan to use the stock trailing arms, but I want to utilize airbags in the back for an adjustable ride.

Q: Should I use relocation mounts for the shocks?

Q: Do I need an adjustable tension tracking/tension bar?

Q: What manufacturer would you recommend for the bags and mounting hardware?

In-addition I want to convert the front brakes to a disc brake, and keep the rear drums.

Q: What is a good manufacturer that makes a kit compatible with drop spindles?


If you have any.suggestions or if Ive overlooked anything please don't hesitate to pass along any advice or experience you have had. Again thank you, I look forward to getting the truck back on the road.
