I like it these way, moving one ball joint placement
I just so happened to see this one, but over all it is a lot of work to get lowered like that. .. ill bag it before I do that much work. ...
If your interested in gaining more caster you can measure about 3/4 of an inch behind the pin locating holes and drill your control arms new locating holes. This will move your lower arm forward and gain you some caster.
Otherwise the tried and true 3" and 3" drop spindle will get you pretty low.

My friends truck has drop arms and we can't stand it with the spindles combined it just drags the ground everywhere. He can't keep up with our group cause he always has to drive slower so not to possibly hit something more stubborn than the truck and end up wasting the frame alignment.
