Static drop (front) & air ride (rear) suggestions

First post here. Hope this is the right place!

Haven't had a classic truck since high school (over a decade ago) but I have my sights set on a great condition '71 Custom Deluxe to be my daily driver. Yes, I'm getting rid of my modern SUV!

My question is this: Since this will be my daily driver and I still want to be able to haul things (furniture, maybe a small atv trailer), what static drop in front and air ride in the rear set-up do you guys suggest?

I've scoured the threads here and, for economical reasons, I think I'd like to do a ECE 2.5" spindle with their 1.5" coil up front and (possibly) their rear air ride suspension kit. I do not want to notch the frame and I want the best ride possible since it will be a DD.

For reference, I'd like to run 20" wheels with likely 255/40 series tires all around. Any issues I should be concerned with regarding camber in the front due to the adjustability in the rear?

Feel free to post up pics of your static front/ air ride rear rides. Thanks!
