    Here is my experience:

    I had Mc Gaughys 2" spindles and it rode pretty good. I had them for about 8 months and like it on my 20s.

    I went to a DJM 4/8 drop, and I went with lower control arms for those. After about a month or two my ball joint boots were shot and it started to ride realllll bad.

    I decided to go turbo and needed to raise it up. I installed 3" lower control arms with the 6" out back, and the front rode even worse. It still rides bad right now. I know its probably my tie rods giving me the bump steer. But still

    I'm gonna bag it soon, but I shoulda stuck with spindles from MC G

    Spindles here. Only thing I dont like about them is my turning radius sucks. They came with stops to keep me from turning al the way. They did this because they break lines kink. Anyone else have this problem. Belltech Spndles BTW

    Many times the knuckles are designed a little taller for camber roll in turns.

    is that to counter the effect of lean in corners?

    i just had MCG 4/7 drop on my NNBS spindles in front and the folks at firestone said they couldnt aligne it all the way. The guy said the factory settings are maxed out and he couldnt roll the tire back to stock with the drop. WTF? ive seen plenty of trucks with strait wheels with my drop. ill post pics up in a bit

    well upon closer inspection its actually pretty close to strait so im not going to worrie about it. But the rear has something rattleing around back there so im going to have to figure out exactly whats loose or if something broke

    thats today with the new 275/45/20's on it, the 55 sidewalls were way too much for the truck. This set up looks good for the 20s i think anyways

    would u mind posting some more pics of your truck, as i am still indecisive on how low i will want to go. i havent gotten to lower my truck yet due to money issues and warranty problems, i cant really afford to break warranty right now just in case something does break and i dont have the money for the kit right now haha. but it is a deff must in my future mod list.
