Re: lowering question
You could use either in this case. Spindles are going to be 2.5" springs 2" You shouldn't have to adjust your camber with spindles you will have to with springs. Spindles will run you about 239 springs about 139. Spindles wont affect your front ride quality. Springs will but not that much. If it were me I would go with spindles. However I went with both on my truck. 2.5 spring 2.5 spindle

Re: lowering question
jbristo67 is right. You could do either spindles or springs. If you have drum brakes right now and want to keep them go with the springs but if you are looking to convert to discs you may want to consider going with spindles. The rear is just drop springs and you shouldn't have to use shock locators or an adjustable panhard bar.

COc10cst50th... before Mod deletes the post, in order to sell parts you will be a subscribing member. Trust me, it will be the best $25 you will ever spend. You can't get this kind of information/access to parts/friends... with any magazine subscription!

Re: lowering question
You have to be a paying supporting member of this site to sell items on here. Techically, your post is offering to sell something and you're not a site supporter.
