Just bought a 2002 GMC Sierra 1500 stepside 5.3

Hey folks, I haven't been on this forum since 2015, since I sold my 1955 hot rod Chevy step-side. I miss that truck..but since, I have been working on a 67 Corvette which I still own...it does have and LS3 and a bunch of modifications....so anyway, I just bought this 2002 GMC Sierra Step-side (I had one similar 12 or so years ago) and I really want to tidy it up. It seems to be a nice truck with 64K or so original miles (we'll see). I want to start with "true" dual exhaust with and x-pipe and converting the hubs to 5 lugs...and it would be good to only lower it about and inch.....so my questions:
- Is there a complete kit to add headers and true duels? i weld (novice) but would like a relatively complete kit.
- What is the best way to convert to 5-lugs?
- As for lowering, who's cut a bit off of the coils to lower it about 1 or so inches...?
You might get the picture, my goal is to "hot rod" this little truck: slightly lowering it, 2.5 or better exhaust, 5-lugs for hot rod wheel like....performance enhancements and maybe cowl hood later....I will post pictures when I go get the truck...
Thanks.
