Drop Lower Control Arms?

Have any of you guys used the 3" drop DJM lower control arms? I am restoring a 1980 GMC 1/2ton, it needs new lower control arms anyway because they are bent a little. Was planning on just replacing them with some nicer used ones and using drop spindles for lowering, until I saw these. This would kill two birds with one stone if they are worthy?

Lots of info from this board about them.
I would stick with spindles and springs.
Look here for better a-arms:
