Lowering my 71 c20

So the past year or so I've been thinking about dropping my 1971 c20 long bed. I've got leaf springs in the rear also. I have been researching and found so many different ways to drop it but no one has really cleared up what I would need. I would really like to get as low as possible with a mild c notch. So basically what I'm wondering. Is.... If you were in my shoes and wanted to lower your c20 and not brake the bank, also keeping it 8 lug what would you do? The only legit looking drop spindles I could find are 400.00!!!! I'd like to do this the right way but this truck is just going to be a cruiser I'm not hauling anything. If you could take the time to clear this mess up for me that would be awesome!

Here's my 71chevy C20 with the dropped spindles, stock front springs & rear drop coils. I just ordered a porterbuilt stage1front & stage 2 basic rear kit to bag my truck in the spring.

Your truck looks awesome. Did you use the same drop spindles you posted above.
