2wd conversion questions - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Ok I have a 1970 Chevy on a 1981 Chevy 4x4 frame, the frame is cracked in a couple of spots and the cab and body are not mounted the best in the world, and I also have a 1970 2wd Chevy frame that I would like to use for the conversion, so I already have all the parts. I would also like to do something a little differently, I would like to keep the coil spring rear end. So my questions are,

#1 If I keep the coil spring rear end and flip the axle how much lift will it have?

#2 I am looking at the DIY4X FGB52 kit for the front, if I get it, will it lift the front any or not?

#3 In using the FGB52 kit for the front, will the 52" springs off of the 1981 fit?
