Pickup Front Suspension Upgrades/Altering?

Get lower control arms from a van. It will drop it 2 1/2 inches. The spring pocket is deeper. Also put the rear on top of the springs. Just put new perches directly under the perches that are there. Cheap and good upgrade
I think, the rear axle is over the the springs from the factory on 2wd trucks. I have also heard about using van lower control arms to lower it, but never knew why, now I do. (deeper spring pockets) I think 90/10 shocks up front will help with weight transfer too.
