Re: Suspension and disc conversion kits

I think the key is the drop spindle. ECE gets a lot of good recommendations.

The previous owner did a full 3 or 4 inch drop spring on the front of my truck. It rides horrible and has a nasty bumpsteer issue. He cut the bump stops (with what I assume was an axe or maybe a hatchet) I'm sure that the truck hits the bump stops frequently while driving

I plan on buying drop spindles and a 1" springs from ECE and all Moog parts to rebuild the front end. Then get an alignment to correct these problems.

For brakes, I converted to hydroboost with disc up front and drums in the rear. All rebuilt with factory parts from Rockauto.
