i'd go ground force spindles, worth the extra money. especially when you start thinking about ball joint, angles, and tires.

I swapped the McGaughys stuff for Belltech when my front (4/7") settled the first time. Replaced stock strut/MCG spring for a BT adjustable strut/BT spring, and the adjustable alignment cams. Guess what? Same problem, less than 5k miles later.

Got any better (bigger) pics of your truck?
