Getting ready to pull the trigger on a better lowering kit for the front over the torsion keys (which blow ***). Whats the better route to go in your opinions, spindles or LCA's?

I'm looking forward to people's responses...there have been threads like this before, and one had me sold on LCA's some day. Seems like there's pro's and con's with both. I've heard that you lose turning radius with spindles, which is no good for me (there's some tight parking lots here in Jersey)...but then I've read that you can grind down the stops on the spindles and get your radius back. I currently have keys too, and the bumpsteer sucks. The truck is great on a smooth road and around turns, but there aren't a lot of smooth roads around here lol.

I have run everything from cut stock springs to lowering springs to spindles and now currently running 4" LCA's and they are by far the best ride id ever had.

The best option is lca's with spindles.

I didn't suggest them for the drop, more for the ride. With drop spindles you lose a lot of turning radius and are still stuck using stock shocks or belltechs. If you don't want as much drop as mine just remove the drop keys and do djm arms and spindles. It will give you the best ride and no turning radius will be lost. You can crank them up to be level with a shackle/hanger rear drop.

If one or the other then i would go with djm control arms for sure.

I was thinking shackles/hangers in the rear, DJM arms in the front, and about 1" of decranking (or re-cranking on my current Belltech drop keys), would do the trick. I'd be looking for about a 2wd 2/4 drop.
