I think the dropmember is a far superior option because not only is it well designed, but it upgrades the steering and suspension to more modern parts at the same time.

Sectioning the crossmember will give you the results, but you are still using 40+ year old technology (and steel). I'm a bigger fan of doing it right and I don't think it gets any more right than Nathan's design.

Check out the pictures of 67Fleet's truck when it was a basic bag drop. He is a lot lower than mine and the only big difference is he notched the frame and trimmed the cups along with the 2.5" spindle.
