parts list/advice - dropping C30 dually

So, I've decided to keep my C30 dually 2WD and drop it. I have been searching thread after thread and want to get an idea if what I'm looking at buying is what you guys would recommend. I have a ~1K budget. I've been seeing a lot in old threads about a Western Chassis 6/8 drop kit, but can't find it on their site.

Is there any other manufacturers or parts I should look at?

-Western Chassis 3" drop spindles
-Western Chassis rear flip kit
-Western Chassis C-notch kit
-cut coils
-shocks
-????

I got my Western Chassis stuff from sport truck direct. I have a 3-4 and wish I would have done the 6-8.
