I have never ran a set of drop control arm's, though I have seen a coulple snap off up near the ball joint, I personally prefer either DJM or McGaughy's spindle's, Belltech's are good too but they push the front wheel's out .5in. per side.

Damn don't want them if they snap off! That could get interesting at 70-80 mph on the interesting lol. So guess drop spindles it is and some grinding . Will try to post pics after the front is done. Just keep in mind guys its a $500 truck and has a ways to go yet.

You can run 15s with drop spindles by trimin the arms...but some people dont like to do that LOL..I was just givin some options..I dont know the differnce in cost but its a little easier to install drop control arms then spindles LOL..I have had DJM drop control arms on my old extra cab and had no problems with it. I would go spindles because for some reason I always end up wanting to bag every truck I have..good luck on the build

So I put the rear axle flip kit in then installed the Belltech 2 inch drop coils in the front. I am using the truck to pull my landscape trailer so I went old school and installed a new set of air shocks on the rear just to give me the extra support. I installed the 265/60/15 tires in the rear and 255/60/15 in the front. With the air shocks pumped up with 100lbs the truck sets level. Now I am wondering if I need to put the 2 inch drop spindles at this point. I am gonna try to post some pics today see what yall think. Input?
