I got to thinking there has to be more ways to basically to convert a 3/4 or 1 ton to a 1/2 ton, I'm just kind of doing it in reverse, then realized searching for converting the lugs might yield better results, and came across a company mentioned here on the forums that makes drop spindles which use the 3/4 ton ball joints, and allow to run a 1/2 ton 5 lug hub and brakes.

Since I dumped a big block in my truck, and read while searching also that the 3/4 ton springs are heavier, I figure I could cut a coil off, along with the 2 1/2 inch dropped spindles, and that should give me a firmer lower ride than using the small block springs that I have in there now, with dropped spindles, which I had originally planned to add in the future
Thanks again.
