You posted this in a blog and no one can respond to blogs. I moved this to the suspension forum so you can get some replies.

Not a problem my friend...it feels good to be back on this site by the way.

You are going to want to use spindles for your particular application. They maintain all the same suspension geometry and make alignments no more difficult than factory. Also, with spindles you will not need to use a camber readjustment kit.

If you go with control arms or springs, you will have to change several aspects of your geometry and getting an alignment is a pain in the ass. Plus, they will ride rougher than spindles. Using spindles will not change your ride quality whatsoever.

WhatEVER you do, DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT cut your springs. There is literally NO correct way of doing it and no matter how close you may think you are getting to what you want, the ride will be terrible, your front end will bounce when you take off or slam on the breaks or hit bumps in the road.

You are going to be looking for belltech spindles. I am not sure if any other company makes them.


I would first tell you to check craigslist.
If you cannot find them on CL or at a local place, here is a link to them on stylintrucks.com

Good luck.
