I tried to look before i posted this but didnt see it. I bought the AIM spindles and know that the bottom ball joint has to be flipped. The question i have is. Does the BJ go on the underside of the control arm or on top of it, and facing up of course. I seen on flameds10 i thinks truck it was actually on top of the control arm. Does this make it lower than if the bj was on the underside of it? i know it probably doesnt matter which way it bolts up but I want it the way that makes it sit lower. thanks

u have to put the balljoint on top of the lca and im not sure that it makes it lower when you only do the bottom but i think it helps out on the camber a little.

yea, it makes sense. i figured thats how it was when i seen the pics of flameds10's truck. just wanted to double check. also do the people who have drop spindles move the upper bj on top of the upper arm or leave it since you have the spindles? the reason i ask is i stated putting my spindles on tonight and tried putting the upper bj to the top and when i tightened down the castle nut to put in the cotter pin the spindle didnt move freely it made it to tight to move so i put it back it the factory position.

i tried that when i put mine on and mine did the same thing so now mine still resides in the factory position.
