#3.. Buy a set of tubular control arms to correct the camber issues commonly found in a lowered truck.
I used a set of upper control arms on my old 81 Chevy truck that were 1 inch longer, the company that made them were Chilsom, they worked great! No camber issues at all.. I wish I could find a set of those .....
I have about a 1000.00 budget and that includes doing some minimal brake work that is needed. Just looking for a little guidance....

I guess I would do #2.
As far as the camber issues that is what alignment shops are for. I just took my '67 Panel Truck to the alignment shop last Monday ('75 front cross member, 2 inch drop spindles) No problem with the alignment. Took about an hour and he charged me $40. I gave him $50 and still felt guilty....
