suspension

I have a 1952 F6. I'm installing a 460 engine. I have already dropped the suspension almost 8 inches and want to get even lower. I also have brand new 8R-19.5 tires with the 5 X 8" lug pattern. I think with all the power i will have with the 460 that I'd be smart to change the axles. Any ideas of what I can go with that will allow me to keep my big tires and duallys? Does anyone make a dropped spindle for the F6 or maybe even a dropped front axle?
Or do I need to go to a totally different front end?ep in mind I want to keep the big tires and wheels!!
