A set of bars that are correctly indexed (on the control arm side) to provide stock spec. preload when paired with a set of correctly indexed keys @ the desired ride height are what is needed to achieve the desired affect without modified spindles. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, as Trever1t previously stated you would need a set of control arm bump stops that give the proper clearance at static ride height and are a bit stiffer in durometer than stock to keep from having a harsh bottom-out event.

Ok, just out of curiousity, if I were to go with an aftermarket 2/4 drop, would the McGaughy's Deluxe 2/3.5 for the SS work on my 4WD? The reason is because, according to kit availability that I've seen, they only offer an "Economy" 2/4 kit for 4WD trucks that uses 2" lowering keys as opposed to the redesigned spindles....aren't the spindles better for component longevity in the front end? But on the other hand, could I stick with my 16" stockers if I went with the economy kit that uses the keys?
