Then the spindles gave me the advertised 3", but my front wheels are toed way out and the tops of the tires are leaning way out too. I thought with a straight spindle drop, nothing was supposed to be out of whack like that. And I had to grind the **** out of the top caliper mount to get my wheels on. What the hell?

Had the exact same issues as you, I bought spindles and a flip kit. The flip gave WAY more than advertised, and had to grind the hell out of the spindles as well. Spindles were DJM and the flip kit was Western Chassis. I was happy with the flip, but I just figured my leaf springs were worn out. First picture is the one with only spindles and flip kit. 2nd picture is after I cut a coil and changed to shorter tires.
