Hey everyone, i know i dont get on here much but its time i did aftermarket control arms and im just wondering if anyone has had experience fitting aftermarket control arms on a fullsize with belltech drop spindles, they required the lower control arm ball joint to be flipped to keep the geometry in check, my question is, can you do the same thing with aftermarket tubular control arms, i mean, flipping the lower ball joint, any credible responses would be great as im definately investing and wouldnt like to have big issues, im in canada and freight costs across the border are brutal; if i have to ship control arms back and forth im going to loose an arm and a leg.
 
thanks for your time!

Those are older Belltech spindles. They will not work on our control arms. The reason being is because the arm isn't met to be flipped. If you try it you will notice that the lower balljoint won't even bolt up all the way. Your gonna need new drop spindles and I recommend McGaughy's 2inch drop spindles.

Thats what i was figuring, ive had the truck since i was 16, and they are definately old spindles now, i can source out the spindles locally, do you guys ship to canada?
