I've got a '69 short step that I am converting to 5 lug. I'll pull the original 3.73 gears and posi and swap into a junkyard '71 housing I picked up. But my personal opinion is the car components are NOT the way to go.

Right, I would definitely go with the 5x5. If I go ahead and get their 2.5" drop spindles since they're needed for the brake swap, will that affect the springs? I'm not going to be bagging for awhile but I do want to drive the truck in the next month or so, so I will be replaceing steering components and some suspension, like the springs and shocks. Should I go ahead and get shorter shocks as well or will stock shocks work with bags? (not shelling out the money for drop springs etc)
