Re: 3/4 ton to 1/2 ton conversion

I've started the process on mine. I dropped the back about four inches by taking out leafs and adding shackles and in the process of adding 2" drop coils in the front(c10) and dearching my remaining leafs so I can get the truck level, but that won't happen until I put the coils in so I can see what I have to drop. I would keep the rest. If you get a 72 it comes with front brakes and the back has larger drums but that just adds a little weight and bigger brakes. that will help the back tires grab and stop, which is a good thing. Even with 8 lug, they have large selection of rims so that is'nt an issue anymore.
