which should I use?

I want to do a 3" drop on the front of my '77. I have both DJM 3" drop tubular A arms, and 3" drop BellTech spindles. I'm a little nervous about the DJM arms due to that other thread. If I use the spindles, I will have to convert to the 1" thick rotors because they are the 3120's. That's not a big deal because I have to buy new rotors and calipers anyway. So which should I do... take my chances with the DJM arms, or convert to 1" rotors and use the BellTech spindles?

im not sure about converting, but ive heard of problems with the lower control arms hitting the wheel weights used to balance the wheels when using the 3" spindles, i know mine do. Im gonna sell mine and get 2.5" spindles, or just get 20's and not worry about it

My bad. I have part number 3200. The 3120 is indeed for the 71-72 trucks. Sorry for the confusion.
