65 Front Suspension Question

I'm planning out my suspension changes to our 65 Suburban. I've ruled out bagging it because I have limited funds. I know I need to upgrade the suspension to something with a little better ride, a lower stance, and better steering characteristics.

OK, I realize I'll get lots of different opinions here, (but that's kind of what I'm looking for). I'd like to know from some of you more experienced builders what you see as the pros and cons of a mustang II type set-up vs changing out the upper and lower control arms, shocks, and springs (like the CPP kit) but keeping the stock geometry.

Right now our truck has the stock 6 cyl in it - but plans are to drop in a 454 later. I don't really want to make changes to the suspension more than once if I can avoid it.

Any advice / opinions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
