I found I did not need to use drop spindles as the way I installed the sub-frame got the truck to a good stance. Any lower and I would be scrapping going in and out of driveways/parking lots.
There are some pics of my install in the picturetrail link in my signature.
Have you fitted the core support to the frame yet? If not you will be in for a surprise.

Huston--
I know what you mean about the core supprt (steering box). What radiator did you use? My frame set up looks different then yours. Did you Z the frame? My core support had to be shortened. When I bought it, it was a driver and had a 48 car radiator in in.
Nice truck
