    Which is a better drop to go? Spindle or drop arm? Which has the better ride?

    Spindle drop is the cheapest and it will ride exactly how it rides now, but it will be low so it will handle better. Drop arms are very expensive idk if you want to go with that. Most people get drop arms for bags.

    Fixed? I never see people with drop arms if they aren't bagging it. I have an s10 that I'm using drop spindles to lower. Alot of people actually get away with using stock spindles when bagging..

    My truck came with drop arms and was thinking maybe that's why my truck pulls to the L or R on uneven roads and feels like there is no power steering.

    No one that ive seen or read about uses drop arms when they bag their truck. They run spindles to correct some of the camber. And to tuck bigger wheels.

    This + custom tube arms.

    LCA and/or spindles for static drop. Spindle only drops 2", + LCA drops 2" more + BJF drops 1" = 5" drop in front static
