Check this out, this is my suspension about 1/2" from laying on my 18s.

I ended up getting it down about another 1/4" and by then the bottom of my control arm was hitting the spindle. If you look at the picture you can see where it was close. In some cases, you do need drop spindles. My camber was ridiculous, and I didnt have any room for a bag laid out.

[quote="toyotaman89"]ok, but what about those of us that drive like 1" off the ground all the time?? My tires will be a year old in december, and there is NO tread left on the inside but the outside is new. From the front my camber looks like /------\ when im driving, and i would like to straighten them out so i dont wear the tires only on the inside , and so i dont have to drive with the front all the way up if i wanna keep my tires.


i roll locked up in the front with the ass end dumped as low as it will get without scraping over road dots ( rollin nosebleed as i like to call it) and my tires still wear on the inside like that. not as bad but never the less....i usually rotate them with the back to keep them even for the most part. plus the allignments help alot but since you roll low all the time spindles would fix the problem for the most part. tire wear is always going to be a factor in bagged truck no matter what you do to them.

i cant really rotate right now though, i have 40 series in front and 45's in the rear - trying to get better top end with lower RPMs..

I'm gonna be fucked, because I still have more camber than all of you WITH drop spindles. Lol.
