Do I need drop spindles ?

Hi all,
Im running a 1.5" sectioned crossmember with bags and dodge 20's, I've got the truck sitting where I want it height wise without spindles but have a set of 2.5" dropped ones I can put in.

SO, do I need them?, I need as much lift as I can get due to having a steep driveway. I don't need to go any lower really and I kind of like the camber look when aired out and the way it tucks the tire up into the engine bay out of the way.

I typically drive the thing with 80-90 psi up front with 2600 bags, at this height am I likely to see accelerated tire wear ? Its the only real reason why Id be going to spindles at this stage. Any input ?

thanks

heres the truck in question

No, it doesn't sound like you "need" them. All that would do is allow you to run lower. We do need to see more pics though.
