Question about lowering 68 SWB

I am getting ready to install the suspension on the 71 frame I have blasted and painted. I have installed a CPP c-notch on the rear and will be using drop spindles in the front. I think I will install 3 inch drop springs in the rear and if it looks like it rides too high I will put 1 inch blocks on the rear end later. I also have flipped the trailing arm mounts on the crossmember to keep pinion angle in check to allow for the 3 inch drop.

Question I have for the board is will I need an adjustable track bar for the rear or can I run the stock bar with new bushings installed?

Also I think I can run normal rear shocks with a modification to the shock mounts on the crossmember and flip the mounts on the trailing arms from side to side. Anyone see any fault in this logic?
