i have heard different ways to lower the rear but the front is easy. the back can be different i have heard different ways. my 78 had 8 leafs in the rear i pulled out 3 and drop it down 4 inches just by doing that. i hope in the coming weeks to but the drop shackles on it not sure the one or two inches. i have heard the 2 inch hole the leaf will hit the filler neck but i will figure that out when i get there. i did read in another post that someone did do a flip kit but then changed out the rear hanger to a 4wd to give you the room back. i have read flip and maybe a raised shackle. I would always change out all the brakes you will always want safety first. c10 brakes is cheap enough.
