Camber Corecting Question

Hey, I have the DJM 3" drop spindles, and want to go lower in the front. I don't want to get the dropped control arms mainly because of the price.
I am wanting to get either 2" or 3" drop springs. So... I was wondering if anybody knew whether I would be able to correct the camber without having to make any modifications like extended control arms and things like that- if I were to do the springs.

if you put in new springs, just make sure you go get a good alignment afterwards. that should take care of most of the camber problems.

i used a 2 1/2" spindle and cut a coil off my front spring on my truck. I know I could have gotten the alignment done right myself but I took it to a shop and the guy totally jacked it up. So I installed offset upper control arm shafts and did the alignment myself. It turned out killer, I don't have a ton of shims in there. Definitely corrects any camber/caster problems. The shafts are available thru Moog or TRW.
