    how much does a drop usually cost? ive been looking around and getting different prices and if i went with springs up front would it mess up my alignment?

    i think with any kind of drop in the front your gonna wanna get your alignment checked anyway.

    when i got the spindles put on, i couldnt necessarily notice from looking at it that my alignment was off, and nor would the truck "drift" when i let go of the wheel on the freeway. but i went ahead and got the alignment checked anyway so i wouldnt have any camber that would result in my expensive ass tires getting worn down in the wrong way.

    my drop cost me right around 450 with the spindles, and its not too much less with the springs. make sure that if you go with spindles you get the right size. i wanted to run my stock wheels and tires for a while before buying new ones, but i bought spindles that fit 17"rims or bigger and stockies are 16s. so when your purchasin it, make sure you get the exact ones you want.
