Re: lowered control arms
I would check out pb's bolt on body drop personally, drop the entire thing around another inch

Re: lowered control arms
I don't see why it wouldn't work although in my experience when you combine lowered control arms with drop spindles and springs the spring pocket on the control arms starts getting real close to the ground.

Don't combine drop spindles and drop pocket or stepped lower control arms.

Re: lowered control arms
chop 1/2 a coil... you won't even be able to bolt it up if you try the a arm.
