You can go either way,& the only thing that I can think of is that the 67-70 lower a arms will limit the turning radius,if used with the later parts(use 71-72 lower arms). As far as drop,a 2 1/2" spindle would be the way to go,the 3" spindle will put the a arm closer to the ground,& could cause problems over the speed bumps or pot holes. If more drop if needed ,you can go to a 2" drop spring & still be ok on front end geometry. IMO,its a matter of what is most cost effective.....69 longhorn.
