will 3" front drop spring mess up alignment?
If I go a 3/4 drop on my 68 without drop spindles just springs, will it mess up my alignment?
Most people run drop spindles vs springs? Whats the pros of running a spindle rather than a drop spring? i wanna go spring because of the $ and found a used set for alot less than new ECE spindles. thanks! if anybody has a lowered lwb truck on rallys with a 2" or 3" or 4" front drop post pics if ya wanna show off

dropped spindles dont change goemetry of suspension. springs will. it recommended to always start with spindles. especially if are worried and alingment issues and tire wear. most will just deal with it cause springs are just cheaper.

My preference is to get as much drop from a spindle as you can. As mentioned it doesn't change your suspension geometry, and has no impact on your ride.
