NOT true. I have dropped spindle drum set up in 6 lug on my other truck.

If you switch to a 5 front, you need new conversion axles or redrill yours. Unless you are going to an open lug style 5 spoke wheel, no need to switch. They offer disc conversions, dropped spindles for drum etc. in 6 lug. I have the set up's on both of my trucks.

If I had a $400 budget to drop a truck I would:
Cut the front springs, drop spindles, buy lowered rears ( not jeep, because I would want to use my truck as a truck and haul stuff) or look for a couple used/cheap air bags for the rear and use Schrader valves at each side, make a set of blocks and cut in a 5 1/2 pipe notch.
