ok redo some work done to this truck and the main is the fron they have all stock components up front my question is what would fit the front the most...tube uppers or drop spindles ...the owner only want to do one or they other and im not sure on these...who ever bagged this truck fliped and swap the uppers so it locks up very low and can tell for sure the ball joints are shot from this ...and also it has a 2 link on the rear with a pan hard bar so when the rear is lifted the rear axle pulls to the passide and sticks out past the bed side ...i plan 2 4 link it but not sure if the make anything to bolt into these....i know there are bolt in 2 links but not sure this would happen with the new 2 link ...my yota has a 2 link but dosnt have a panhard and has no movement ...and advice would be very usefull

i would definately put the control arms back in their stock spot. i would do drop spindles in the front with stock arms and youll prolly have to notch for the tie rods and control arms. it would be a little cheaper than arms depending on what you wanted to do and what size wheels you are running on the truck. if you put the arms on it you wouldnt have to cut and weld and it would minimize the stress on the ball joints but if you did notch the tie rods and control arms and did a drop spindle it shouldnt stress the ball joints enough to do any damage unless your tryin to lay some big big wheels

The 1st time my 99 was bagged we used Belltech drop spindles and stock control arms. It layed out fine on 20's.  but with the belltech drop spindles the Pass side upper control arm has to be swapped to the driver side and flipped upside down and the driver side control arm the same way but on the pass side. When Ekstensive bodydropped it on 22's they reused the belltech spindles and left the control arms flipped. Mine doesnt have any problems binding up when laid out. If I were you I'd call Mitch at Ekstensive.  they'll be able to help and have the parts you need. Hope that helps.

i read you can lay 22's with all stock up front so im gonna go that route but just with spindles
