Drop spindles or dropped control arms?
Rebuilding the front suspension on my 05 and I'm concerned with 2 things: handling, and a little lower stance. I want it to corner and be responsive as possible and sit a couple inches lower. I know the choices for lowering for me at least are spindles, control arms, lowered strut such as belltechs hyper street strut, or a combination of any two. Anyone have any suggestions or experience here?
look at the lowering section.
spindle: you'll need at least 20" wheel to do so.
I'm a fan of control arm..and that's what I would put...but i'm stacking money for the air ride..
The belltech strut are supposed to be awsome and you can adjust your ride height if it's not perfect for you...and they are supposed to be a great improvement on handling
if cornering is the first thing on your mind: go with belltech struts.

Cornering is a by product of how I drive. In all honesty, I should be driving a mustang lol. But I love my toys big and they gotta work as hard as I do sow the truck was the way to go. No worries on the 20s cause I already have 22's and the belltechs I think are adjustable from stock to -3" if I'm not mistaken. So if I did the spindles the bushings on my factory c arms Would have to be replaced for sure
