Am I on the right track here?

truck: 68 c10 2wd long bed with leaf spring rear.

Parts I have ready: porterbuilt stage 1 front, djm front tubular lower 3" drop A arms, djm rear flip kit (heavy rear, axle is below springs), ride tech rear air overleaf kit for 2.5 leaf spring. Also a porterbuilt 2 piece notch.

Plan and goal: just get the truck to handle better and get it closer to earth, no goals of laying frame or rockers. This is my first truck build, ive done some big impalas on air previously. Im running old skool 15x8 rims chrome smoothies with white walls. They are 28.5 inches tall.

before anyone asks: Im keeping leaf spring rear for now to locate the rear end, just going to run 2 leafs on each side for that now, instead of a panhard bar setup. When money allows I hope to do a full crossmember from PB and tubular trailing arms on bags. Does anyone forsee any issues with what I have planned before I tear into this build???/
