Someone showed me a link to a thread he posted in. From what I read, he had the exact same suspension problem I did.

I love my spindles. They are Doetsch spindles, but I had them customized a bit. That way when I want to throw uniballs in them later when I do either arms or beams, I can. They are also pre-drilled to accept Dana 44 snouts. I also had the back reinforced with 1/2" plate.

With 3.5 inch spindles, the truck actually sat perfectly level. That's what 10 years of spring sag will do to you!

That's what it says under his username. He had limit straps on his lower arms, no?

I'm guessing he either ground the back of the factory spindles, or he ground where the end of the bump stop is set.

If either is the case, I wouldn't. Sure you will weasel another half inch out of the suspension, but that is an awful lot of trust to put into limit straps. Especially when they are going to sit nearly topped out all the time.
