LOWERING questions (75 sierra)

Picked up a new truck..75 GMC 3/4 ton camper special 2wd (reg cab long box)

What is the best way to drop this thing? Im going to remove soem leafs out of the rear cause there is a ton of them. But this truck absolutly has to get dropped.

I prefer spindles and spings up front, flip kit out back along with shock extenders. Taking leafs out before a flip kit will lessen the amount of drop the flip kit gives. My 79 1/2ton had a 8 leaf pack that gave the perfect drop with the flip kit and 5" front drop.

I dont want to notch the frame, so i was hoping to stay away from the flips

you can do a flip kit with out a notch you'll just ride on the frame rail its only rough over huge bumps

I haul a 600 pound quad too lol
not doing a flip kit. and I dont need this 3/4 ton camper special leaf pack for the quad.

Can I buy drop spindles for a 1/2 ton and use them on my truck even tho I have 8 stud hubs?

i dont see why i have hauled over 600 pounds wirh my flip kit and noch on my 1/2 ton and yeah you could use drop springs but that make your towing capacity go down anyway
