there is no easy way to do this. you have to do just as much work with the spindles if you are running 22s. the spindles work great with 20s with no extra work. flip the lower balljoint and stering and rais the upper control arm. its not easy but works perfect any questions call me @ fresh rydes 281-540-5636.

THE SPINDLES SUCK!!!!! Save the money and do the ball joint flip UNLESS you want nasty camber problems... Also, dont use the stock ball joints if you flip them, they were NOT made to handle the weight in that mannner!

i have the spindles and camber isn't bad it's the toe and i also have the control arms and now i have to tub the firewall. i need to move the fuse box and 3 plugs on the driver side move the brain on the passenger side and cut down my intake tube to clear the tires.

I've come to the conclusion (possibly wrong) that you can't lay w/ just spindles... i've got the clearance to lay now, but it appears that at least on my drivers side that the lca is hitting the frame and the frame is still a inch or so off the ground. Since I havent' done anything w/ my trans xmember i'm just going to leave it for now, but thought i'd share that the spindles aren't enough in my case to lay on 22's.

on my 98 i have the belltech lowers w/03 chevy balljoints flipped and the upper control arm mounts arm moves up and in to help the camber. the tie rods are also flipped a 3 inches shorter so that i can ride and turn almost all the way down. the firewall on mine is also tubed and when i drag it barely rubs the booster.

i dont belive i would do spindles, ur gonna get too little camber and wont be able to drive as low. flip ball joints if u like, but dont flip stocks..theyll break every time. i would go with c. arms and cut the spring tower off and build u a bracket commin off of the frame with gussets. make sure bag is pressed all the way and ur gonna have to change the booster like mentioned above and notch frame for tie rod which is no big deal.
