With 18s youd more than likely also need drop spindles.. email me with anything else I could help with, later man.

If your talking about 1/2" dumps, that's up to you.. but personally I always reduce my dumps to like 1/4" and 1/8".. and the hardbody I just finished, he hasnt put reducers in and it SLAMS down, especially the front.. cant be good for the engine.. you could save a little money and get 3/8" dumps.. and drill out plugs to the perfect drop speed.

Yea u will need drop spindles with 18's u can also flip your lower balljoints and even put a spacer in them to gain a lil more drop, but u'll also gain a lil more camber it's just up to u weather u like camber or not...

you can fit 18's w/ 35 series tires by flipping the ball joints.. no need for drop spindals. And if you flip the ball joints you can get byc control arms to clear the ball joint problem, and can even have them made to fit toyota or s10 spindals = 5 lug conversion
