You're going to think I'm nuts........

I have an '88 RCLB C1500 that has a 4/6 static drop. 2" drop spindles and 2" lowering springs up front with a flipped axle and C-notch in back. It's been a lot of fun and has had certain advantages but I now have need of a "bit" more ground clearance. In fact I need a little more ground clearance than stock and buying a different truck isn't in the cards, I have too much wrapped up in this one, so my plan is to go the opposite direction with 4" lift spindles and stock height springs in front and 1" blocks on a stock rear axle housing with stock rear springs. I'm also going to taller tires so I'll be swapping my 3.73 R & P for a 4.30 to maintain the same final drive ratio.

I'll get spindles for a '93-'98 so I can upgrade the front brakes, I already have the rotors and calipers for that setup. This is strictly for functional purposes, appearance doesn't enter into it in anyway. If it looks dumb so be it, it just has to do the job I need it to do and go where I need it to go. Have I missed anything? Any recommendations or tips? TIA.
