Thanks for the reply. I was uncertain if swapping to discs was required. I should know this week if I have the correct wheels for disc brakes.

As far as the back, I will still likely go with bags and a notch to get it down further. I have 2 Harleys and the smaller of the two sits very low, and drags going into my garage. The lower I can kneel that back end to lessen the angle for loading, will help me in the end. Also being able to adjust the suspension depending on the load, seems to be a big incentive to deal with any problems. The way a certain number of our trucks are designed from the factory with trailing arms and coils eliminates a lot of the design issues associated with converting a leaf sprung truck.
