Default Issues with drop spindles & stock wheels?

Looking to lower my 97' 3/4 with a full belltech kit, spindles and springs up front and shackles and hangers in the rear. Was looking at the kit on summit and it gives the minimal wheel diameter of 18", I assume there could be an issue with a 16" wheel coming in contact with the LCA at full lock? Anyone have issues?

i sell a lot of these kits along with installing them and honestly I would not do the spindles. It pushes the stock wheels a nice chunk and yes you need 18s.

I would do teh same kit i have on my f150 which is the belltech 3 inch springs front shocks rear shackles and hangers and shocks and camber kit.

i lowered my 99 in late 98 with 18 miles on the truck not one issue and I have 105k miles on the truck rides nice too. Heres mine

285 35 22 and 285 45 22 rear
22x9.5

Thanks for the reply and your truck looks great. Do you have a part number for the kit you have on yours?
