Drops and tire alignment issues and wear

[ericfallon]

Hello Folks
I plan on dropping my c-10 come spring (70) .
It will be a static drop no air bags , I don't think I can swing the cost for that.
Thinking either 4 " to 5 in the front, with drop spindles (2.5") and 2" drop springs, or maybe 3" drop springs, not sure where either will land.
I have to study some dropped trucks that are 4/6 or5/7 to get an idea on stance.
It will be on 15" wheels.. maybe 18" someday.. but not at first.
With a 2" or 3" drop spring does the alignment and tire wear go way up? I think I remember that the drop spindles don't, but springs can cause issues.
is 3" to much?
Figure I'll drop the front get it where I want it then figure out the rear.
At what point do you need the notch over the axle?
Thanks for any info or guidance with this..
Eric
