Or do I have to convert to heavy duty brakes?

No 2" modular spindles for 1" rotors, but several options for 2-1/2" or 3" drop spindles.

Im ready to order a bunch of parts
I want a 2/2 drop and I could care less which brakes but I really don't want to have to swap everything over. The truck has calipers and rotors that don't have many miles on them and I don't know what has to be swapped on the rear for brakes. Ill have to look into it but even the brake hoses have different part numbers.
I found 1 set this morning but I can't find them again. I should have saved a link but the amazon ad didn't look very professional

If I'm understanding your post correctly, you're want a 2" drop front and rear. If so, I would keep your stock spindle and go with a 2" drop spring up front, and a 2" lowering shackle on the rear. Summit racing will have everything you need. Another cheap option is to cut one round off your stock coils and you will get about 2" of drop also.

That is exactly what I want, I want to keep the rake. I've been told by some not to use springs but as I've never lowered any of my trucks so I only know what others tell me about lowering but now the springs seem to be the best choice

Go with spindles over springs always.....spindles will lower your body an springs will lower your suspension....an jus get some 2" shackles for the rear
