lowering spindles vs. Lowering control arms

[1979 Chevy stepside]

Yep you can run stock ones on there but if they have been on a long time like mine were its prob better to spend the extra and get the new shocks. I did my spindles today in bout 3 hours, took me a little longer than i figured due to the lower Ball joint not wanting to pop out as planned.. i had to pull out the persuader to assist me. Other than that it was easy to do and looks really good. Tommorow its onto the rear end once i get the box off.
