Questions about lowering a C-20

Hi all. I have a C-20 Suburban. At the moment it is static dropped with
2-1/2" spindles and stock front springs and 3" drop springs in the rear. I also have a set of 2" drop springs for the front and 5" for the rear, but I took them out because the front track width is so wide with the disc brakes that the tires rub quite a bit with the truck that low. I am running stock 8-lug steel wheels that I wouls like to keep. I might switch to air bags at some point for better ride, but don't intend to lay frame.

My questions are...
Is there a way to narrow the front end without chopping my control arms?

I saw in another thread that there are some CPP spindles that are narrower than stock? I got mine from Performance On Line.

Does CPP make Narrow spindles for the C-20.

These pics are with the 4-1/2" Front and 5" rear drop. I also have 1/2" blocks for the rear that I have yet to install.

I might be actually be willing to swap to drum brakes if necessary, but obviously would prefer to keep the disc brakes.

If control arms are cut, how bad is the effect on handling, turning, alignment, etc?
