Newbie intro, pic, and questions

Hey everyone, I'm new to the forum and wanted to show the virgin pic of my newest ride. Its an 83 burb with 60k one owner miles. She was garaged all her life and is immaculant. Please forgive the awesome bug shield, white walls, and running boards, like I said, this is how I picked her up.

I want to lower it, but have not yet decided which setup to go with. I need to be able to still pull a boat, and carry a load, so it needs to be functional and driveable on crappy Mo. roads. I was going to keep it simple and do a 3 inch drop in the front (either springs or spindles) and 2 inch shackles in the rear. The rear is a tad lower than the front, so I think this would even it out nicely. For those of you with 3 inch drop springs, has alignment been an issue?

I'm also considering spindles and springs in the front and a flip in the rear (with c-notch) but I have concerns about pulling a boat with it loaded with kids. Any input is appreciated.
