I get it, they designed the kit around the 52" spring for ride quality. Not saying that won't work. But it's also why I directed you to CK5.com for the reality of what those springs give. If the truck is not going rock crawling, I'd plan on putting some type of sway bar on the truck.

The one kit I found from Tin Works fab doesn't even address the steering.

I understand you don't want to swap frames to keep the numbers matching, but that shouldn't stop you from finding a K10 frame and using it to harvest the parts to do the conversion that way. Yes, it's more work.

It totally comes down to the plan of use for the truck and your ability to perform the swap.
