I will check the rubber on there and try the zip tie. I have stock spindles. They said if I go with dropped spindles it would give me more adjustment but not sure

If you have stock spindles and install drop spindles then the truck will get lower, meaning that you will need to adjust your coilovers to compensate. Doing that will make your control arms move down at the ball joint end which may affect your geometry and alignment.

But I guess what they are telling me is if I do the dropped spindles the. I’ll be able to have some adjustment on my coilovers. Right now they are set at the lowest it will sit. So I only have threads to adjust to make the truck higher? I’m not sure how that would affect the ride

How do you get the parking lot to stand on its edge like that?
Nice.

Fixed it. That's a nice start on a nifty truck.
