I really dont want to swap to discs right now as I dont have the budget for it. Since spindles arnt available for drum brakes I was thinking I might bite the bullet and save for the Ride Tech dropped LCA's. You get 3" more drop (with proper balljoint and camber alignment) and that should put the front end down nicely.

Any more updates?
yeah lowered control arms are definately the way to go if you can swing them i was looking at a porterbuilt dropmember because I can still use all of my stock stuff with it so far I have just been driving the heck out of it havent done anything to it lately probably when the snow flies I will tear into it again just got a welder and have been practicing up my welds so I can weld in my c-notch I am tired of the rear end banging around
