3" drop springs will throw the front suspension geometry off radically. It causes a very low roll center that'll make the truck handle poorly, also the stock upper control arms are too short and you'll have to put a pile of shims under them to even get your front end close. The travel will be limited, and the ride will be pretty rough.
There are other options besides spindles, such as a notched front crossmember.
