Lowering Help / Questions - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a 72' GMC Shorty with a fleet side. I want to lower the truck, but retain towability for our 22' boat, so I'd like to go with an air ride suspension in the rear.
(Note: truck has stock leaf springs in the rear).
Can anyone give advice:
1. Lowered springs or drop spindles for the front - which is better?
2. Has anyone had any experience with air systems on the rear - what vendor? I know of Early Classics and Air Ride, but I don't know which vendor is better.
3. How hard is an air ride install?

Thanks -
Ed
