3/4 chassis or 1/2 better for lowering??

[Se7en Deuce]

Just found this suspension area.
I have a 3/4 ton 2wd lwb and my goal is to lower it with a static drop
Im thinking 5" front and 6" rear drop.

so heres my current dilema
I dont know if it would be easier to just find a used front and rear end and then buy the components for lowering and then install everything

or
pick up a good rolling 1/2 ton chassis with disc front 5lug all around and then I could work on that sepperately and when ready move body over.

so far the cost would be the same here localy for either way.
if theres alot of things that need to be done labor wise to drop a 3/4 ton chassis I would rather go the easier route. hope this makes sense

any help would be appreciated. hope I gave enough info.
