In doing a mild drop .. say around 5", can I disregard the 3" I get from the drop spindles since they shouldn't do anything more than raise the wheel center without effecting the geometry?

Or, in other words, if I use a 2" spring drop and 3" spindle drop; can I act as though it is only a 2" drop for the purposes of getting the tie rod and sway bar lined up correctly?
