Spindles and dropped LCA's
 
Hey, I've tried searching this board for an answer, but I've come up dry. Everyone says that dropped spindles and dropped arms combined just shouldn't be done. I'm just wondering if anyone knew why.

I could be wrong on this but I think you run into issues with your scrub radius, ie blow a tyre and you will be on the deck and out of control, could also be due to backspacing issues with rims and such.

I had to fix my front end because at the moment if I blow a tire the a-arms will hit the deck, and I only have 3" spindles, drop springs and 30" tires

becuase the inside edge of the wheel will come in contact with the lower control arm
