lowering---the right way
i want to lower my truck but have heard different ways to do it that are "correct"
i have heard that using springs puts the ball joints at a wierd angle and they are more likely to break at such an angle. i have heard that control arms make the wheels lean like this / \ or like this \/. i haven't heard anything bad about spindles though. as for the rear i haven't heard anything bad. i am looking for a 3/4 or 3/5 kit and wanted to get opinions on what parts to use, what manufacturers, etc. please let me know what parts you are using and good/bad experience with them or other parts. also post pics if you have some. thanks

RE: lowering---the right way
uhh, your wheels will only look like that if you dont dont get it aligned after you install the control arms. It has way to much Camber, and springs change both caster, camber. Just after you install the **** dont be like a ricer and think its cool to have your tires looking like this.. / \ going down the road.. good way to have a balljoint snap and your tire fall off.. god damn idiots. Ive seen 2 cars like that over here in Dallas. Kids lower there honda to the damn ground and then dont align it. But i also think they did that because they didnt have enough money to by tires that woudn't rub since it was so low... sheesh.
Go air bags, or TVS... TVS is only like 2/3 but with some 20s it lookslow enough... you dont want to bottom out everywhere.
