[QUOTE=iLLblazer;47028]You could get the front bagged for that much but you will wont be laying unless you want to raise your upper arms, get custom arms built etc, all of which affect steering and suspension geometry, whereas spindles do not.

If you use belltech drop balljoints you can lay on 20's or 22's without moving your uppers. I've done tonnes of research on this lately. I would get new uppers made to look cool but its not needed. Unfortunately like you said I lost substantial steering radius with my 4/5 drop on my colorado. But it looks slick

Drop ball joints change the suspension geometry since the pivot point is being raised. Without raising the lowers and the rack to match, then there will be minor issues. Albeit probably nothing substantial for a minitruck.

the belltech drop ball joints are shit, i had them in my 355 and i went through two sets... ended up replacing my lowers and going the drop shock/spring route

Just recently? I know they tweaked them after they had so many replaced on warranty...I had the old ones. As long as you have the new ones you should be ok (apparently).

ya yesterday lol, well i guess we'll find out... anyone try those 3" spindles yet?!?

I've had no issues with my drop bj's
Did you get an alignment?
I lost steering radius with them and a little more when I added the drop springs but all in all I lubricate them often and they have been sweet! Needs bags though
