As a general question to everyone I was wondering if there was one kit that would achieve the drop, swap to discs, and swap to 5 lug, or if it is best to a la carte various parts.

My above 81 has ECE 2.5 inch spindles and 2 inch springs on the front with a BellTech flip kit in the back. Initially the rear was actually a half or full inch lower than the front and it really bugged me for a while: I blamed it on my mixing ECE and BellTech components. When my alignment guy assured me that the front would drop a bit as I drove it - spring sag, settle - I didn't believe him.

Of course he was right and after a few thousand miles I now have the stance I wanted. It is true what they say: lowering is addictive and I really want to do the same for the 70, thanks for all suggestions.

Have you considered just bolting 1981 front end parts on the truck? If your current parts are worn out it would be a good option.
