So pretty much we have 96-98 spindles, 99-04 calipers, SN95 master cylinder, adjustable proportioning valve, new pads, and brake fluid.
That should cover the front correct? Now switching to 5 lug in the rear, 94-98 axles, rotors, calipers, dust shield and bracket?

You have the fronts right, except I would use the 94/95 Spindles. Some guys rub the fenders even with these on and you certainly dont want to go wider.

No 5lug, the reason your brakes will be mushy with 96-98 front calipers is the difference in bore size. I'm saying that even if you keep drums in the back, you're going to have a mushy pedal if you use 96-up calipers up front with the fox master cylinder. The fox mc has a tiny bore. Mate that up to an increased caliper bore such as the 96-up calipers and you will not be happy with your brakes.
