Most guys drop the spring tower to avoid the crossmebers . After measurements its a matter of finding right parts . If the sites above fail u let me know .

Might be too late to mention this but I don't recommend using the 1978/1979 Dana 60's in the later model trucks due to the different left hand axle tube lengths designed to go to the NP205 on the earlier trucks
