ive heard mixed opinions on running aluminum 15" wheels on an 88-98 with drop spindles. i know it wont just bolt on without cutting the arm, but ive seen several trucks running stocks with drop spindles. did you have to cut alot of the arm?

if i remember correctly cris you just have to cut the lip on the bottom side of the control from the ball joint edger area to about 4 inches back was plenty.
