i Can't wait to see yours and hear what Sid says about avoiding bump steer with the 4" drop? PLEASE detail the work. BTW, I already have the same disc brake conversion kit but haven't installed it because I have no vacuum to run a booster. Maybe I'll go manual, dual master cylinder - if you do! lol.
Thanks for the compliments. I have never been a car guy, so this is all really new to me. I am having a blast so far.

I debated between the IFS and drop axle quite a bit. My long term goal is IFS on bags, but I cannot justify the $$$ right now. I would likely go with a Fatman set up. The SID's axles seem to hold there value somewhat, so I should be able to sell it when the time comes.

I am ordering my dual master cylinder today.
