you could use drop springs in the front with the control arms, and still be able to align your car back to spec. With the control arms your really just moving the center point of the wheel further up in the wheel well and it does not effect the alignment angle, now if you add in drop springs it will effect the alignment angles and you will need to do an alignment on the truck, (but you should do it anyway whenever you replace suspension parts). You can also put blocks on the back with the shackles to drop the rear more.
