Pros and Cons

What is the best way to lower the front of my truck 3" LCA's or springs or 2" spindles and a 1" spring? I will be running 17" wheels. Is there an issue with spindles and 17's?

My 17's (Welds) barely fit over the balljoint after the spindles. Had to grind off the excess thread protruding but other than that fit and function fine. The stockers would prob fit fine.

Thanks for the info. I have a post in the southern section trying to decide between this and the 6.0. Nice truck have always liked it.

Depends on the person really. Personally I am happy with my DJM arms. With LCAs, there is increased bumpsteer. With Spindles, there is increased turning radius, and sometimes wheel fitment problems. With springs, the ride will get a little stiffer.
