I need advice...
My plan is to leave the stock trailing arms, and front a-arms on my 68 C10 SWB truck. I want to bag it and I assumed I would need at least some McGaughey's spindles, shock relocators front and rear, and a new track bar.

I will do schraders on the bags for now. I want to get away cheaply, but with a decent ride. I would like a 3/5 or 4/6 drop. I do not want to slam it.

I want a plush ride and have it ride like a modern truck. I had a 2006 Chevy 1500 SWB reg cab and it rode nice.

Am I in the hunt with that setup? or...Will I need to do all kinds of other things to get this to ride well. I don't want bounce. I am not opting for a static drop since I am under the impression that I will get a smoother ride and have the ability to still haul well with the truck.

Any and all relevant advice is appreciated..
