Once you have the BBC installed it will probably be trial and error with springs to get the stance you want. I believe BBC trucks came with the HD springs you see advertised in parts catalogues, you will need a stiffer spring to prevent bottoming out with the extra weight. I would leave the drop spindles on, since that gives you a static drop and work with the springs.
