im looking at getting some drop spindles or control arms temporarily till i bag my truck. im in iraq now, as some of you know, and im gonna buy my first house when i get back so i wont be able to purchase a full bag kit right away. depending on whats left over after the house, fees, furnishing, ect. is how much i have to play with. i already have to buy a new set of tires cuz the truck has been sitting this whole time. so they have flat spots. i would like to get 3'' of drop up front so my question is... does anyone make a 3'' drop spindle or set of control arms that will keep the stock streering geometry? keep in mind im also on a budget.

or i just had a thought... i already have a 2/4.5 drop on now, coils up front, but i never got an allignment after i dropped it. new question is... WITH the drop springs, couldnt i just get an allignment and correct the camber back to stock to spare my new tires?

im sure you can get an alignment to correct anything out of whack, your drop isnt so extreme, that you cant do an alignment. glad to see you postin up, stay safe cant wait til your back home....

Jays correct, me personally i would go with drop lower control arms with bags deflated you will be lower than now but if you have a falure you can still drive it.If you want to lay frame go with both spindles and arms but you'll have to c notch the rear frame.

3" drop arms

well if it isnt my favorite ram with racing stripes. i was just think about you last night ken, its nice to know you are safe and still thinking of modding your truck. when you buy the house see if they have the first time home buyers credit its like 6-7k that you dont have to pay back. get home man

good to finally get to talk to my homies again. yeah i figured id just get an allignment then when the house thing is done, dive into bagging the truck. fyi ill be home in 2.5 months! yippee!

I would just get the LCA's...that will save you from having to pie cut or shave your stock ones later one...I dont know much about bagging Dodges, but you might not even be able to lay frame on a stock LCA

hopefully! im trying not to spend alot of money where not needed. id hate to buy a brand new set of LCA's to get 3'' of drop with a coil, then turn around and get a set with buckets for bagging. i think im just gonna get an alignment for now... hopefully that preserves my tires till the caos begins! btw when im bagging in going all out.. channelling, notching, shaving, MAYBE a body drop while im at it. that would be awesome!
