Alignment after drop springs

If I go with 3 in. drop springs and stock spindles can I get an alignment and everything still be ok? My friend had an s-10 with just drop springs and a shop said he needed spidles in order for them to align it.

Re: Alignment after drop springs

Yes, you can still align a full size truck with 3 inch drop springs.

There is a fundamental difference between S-10's and full size trucks. On a full size, you add shims to increase the camber. You can add shims till you run out of stud room. On an S-10, you remove shims to increase camber. Once you remove the shims that are there, you can't adjust it any more. That's why S-10's can't usually be aligned with a 3 inch spring.
