The kits use the disc brake spindles (either 71-72 or 73-later style depending on application) & a custom 6-lug rotor.

so it just comes down to spindles and rotors?

Several board vendors sell disc/drop kits that have all you'll need. Just tell them 5 or 6-lug for the rotors.

What I meant by the whole world drops off is that you are really really low to the ground. Like I said normal driving in a good surface you can srape bottom. It was so low to the floor I could pick the pocket of a midget doing 15mph. From my driver's side window.

If your handy you can cut the spring pockets on the lower controll arm and drop them. I cut and dropped mine about 3'' and added 2'' drop springs . I still run the factory power drum brakes. It's low and drives good!!
