ok to lower with springs??

i have been looking at 3" drop front springs for my truck, but it says to use them with drop spindles...does this mean that they should not be used if you dont have drop spindles already?? If i did use them would i be able to line the front end up ok once im done?
thanks
later

I did a 3-5 spring drop on my '70 and was able to have it aligned, but it was close.

No, you don't need to use them with spindles. If you are going with a 3" drop, why not get 3" spindles. It will keep the same ride quality you have now.

I have heard it can be difficult to align as well.
As far as I know, the only company selling 3" front drop sprints is CPP...

Like many other here, I went with a setup from www.earlyclassic.com :D
