    Damn near 4 months later but I got the drop spindles installed and man what a difference! Rides so much better than with the balljoint flip. Don't ever flip your balljoints lol

    Looking good!!!! I got my spindles a couple months ago and I’m wondering if I should get the adjustable upper control arms to keep my alignment in spec. I see you have different upper arms but did you have any alignment issues?

    The spindles will actually keep your camber fairly within spec when lowering. I have longer upper arms and ended up having positive camber after installing the drop spindles so you should be good with the stock arms.

    Thanks man! Figured I'd make a jig to make sure I got the stock geometry right. Had some trouble filling some of the larger gaps with the tig but overall im pretty happy with the results.
