Crossmember swap with manual steering

Hey all, looking to get sixfo lower without bagging it. I've realized I need drop spindles, which also means disc brakes. I'm wondering if it would be better to do the complete crossmember swap for a later model or just get drop spindles for the stock suspension. I want to keep manual steering. It seems like everyone goes power steering with the crossmember swap.

Also, what would be the easiest way to bring the back down the additional 2.5"-3" to keep it level. I'm currently running TJ coils and 2" blocks. I know I'll have to modify the frame to clear the arms, relocate the upper spring mounts and change the track bar. Do I need to flip the front mounts for the arms?
