Title: Control arms vs drop spindles what is the better way to go.
Post by: benr21 on June 19, 2016, 09:16:21 am

OK I want to lower my 79 c10 stepside. Either 3/4 or 3.5/5 I want a good ride yet. And I am not looking for what ever is cheaper. I just want to know if the control arms are a good choice. I was think lower and upper. Along with new sway bars and it should make my c10 handle real good. Please share your thoughts.

The big factor that i have noticed is with lowering spindles the distance between the lower ball joint and the lip of the rim is significantly less where as with the lower control arm that distance should be unaffected.  So rim selection might be a factor.  My $.02
