C2500 upper ball joint into a C20 UCA?

I was wondering if anyone knows if a upper ball joint from a 88-98 C2500HD or C3500 will bolt into the upper control on my 83 C20. I am exploring ways to lift my truck and would like to put lift spindles on it. I know I could use a C2500 light duty spindle, but then I would be swapping to 6 lug and I don't want to loose my 14 bolt ff rear as I don't think a 12 bolt will stand up to the power of the cummins that's in the truck. I've already grenaded 2 14 bolt semi floating axles in this truck and I would think they were stronger than the 12 bolt, but correct me if I'm wrong.

Edit: I've already found out the lower ball joint will fit the lower control arm.

I'm also wondering if the 8 lug rotor might fit on the 6 lug spindle?
