This is incorrect... the drop spinldes do not effect the geometry and do not effect the height or inflated pressure of the air bag. All that is happening with the drop spindle is that the spindle spud is moving up in the casting of the spindle. Unlike a drop-spring, a drop-spindle compensates for ride height without compensating geometry of the control arms and steering (some aspects of the suspension geometry are effectced such as scrub radius).

Dan- I just re-read your post and think I misread it the first time! I now understand what you're saying! Looks like I just clarified your comments!
