Ok so I've decided to lower my truck some more and don't know which would be better. I have 2" McGaughy's spindles on front right now so should I just add a 1" spring, or put stock spindles back on and throw a 3" spring in. Also big reason behind this are my lower ball joints a shot and might as well do this while its apart because I will be too lazy to do this any other time..

and a Fast LSXRT 102
I'd definately would leave the spindles in! I had alignment issues with just the 3" drop springs, so I added the spindles and had a spacer to make spring only 2". So in total up front I have a 4" drop. (2" mcgaughy's with 2" belltech drop springs) I love it. So as far as alignment goes, just lower it but leave spindles..Originally Posted by Razgriz1

leave spindles, and i may get yelled at for this, but it's only an inch, so, cut the springs

I have cut the springs before and had no prob with anything people do this all the time and never tell anyone that they did so its up to u just make sure u cut the same amount on both sides.
cutting the springs will kill your ball joints...believe it or not.
I would get some DJM lower control arms with stock springs and spindles, aligns perfect and will keep your ball joints in good shape for years.
Of course the lower control arms are gonna drop it 4" not 3"...... just a thought
Ran a DJM kit on the 2000 rcsb in my sig for 10yrs with zero issues.
I agree with him i have DJM 4" control arms and it rides just like factory i would not recommend springs i think the make it ride like poop in my opinion and i have had mine droped for 3 years now and the ball joints still look like new
