56 straight axle squarebody hubs

Hey...need some help here.

My original idea of getting a M2 IFS from Heidts just won't materialize fast enough financially for me to wait any longer. Ive picked up my original straight axle and springs for mounting under my original frame but ive already mounted a squarebody rear end and flipped springs in the rear. Im wanting the 5x5 chevy bolt pattern so how can i manage to get the front pattern to match the back pattern with disc brakes?

I looked at the hub assembly from a SB and the spindles of my 56 and they obviously wont fit onto the straight axle as the kingpins are very different lengths...but will the SB hubs fit over the spindle shaft of my 56? Or what else is available to me to make this setup happen?

Also..just to confuse the issue im needing to drop the front end. I see in LMC they have 2" lowering leaf springs for the front..anybody here know what those are like? Assume its just a flatter profile and less leafs to create the drop.
