My other question was if i order a 5lug disc brake kit for my lug rear end, would i also have to order 5 lug axels? If that makes any sense.... lol, thanks

S-10 5 lug axles are smaller than a C=10 5 lug axles. The s-10 is 5 lugs but the circle they make is 4 3/4" where a C-10 is 5" circle. If you bought the brakes for the C-10 they will not fit the S-10 axles.
If the rear end will go under the truck as you want all you will need is a set of wheels to fit a s-10 are run adapters.
