Default DJM Control arms and 3 inch springs

Id like to put my truck down 5 inches in the front, but my only concern would be if a good alignment guy could still get this to be straight. Would this be to low to keep it from wearing the inside of the tires off?

ive been doing big drops since late 03 on the 04 ups. on the 5.5 drops in front spindles/control arms you will be fine but you will need to run 20 inch wheels.

Yea. That's what I said. Maybe you can run wheel spacers and get the 17's on still?

if you have a 01 the djm kit with spindles will give you 6 and will align fine.
