Which are better for lowering a truck? Going 3" in the front. Options so far are 3" arms or 2" spindle and 1" spring.

If you buy arms, more than likely you'll get the full set, i.e. upper and lowers. I had happened to just get the lowers since I bought them off CL. Wasn't really worth it to me even though they were dirt cheap.

Damn that's a hell of a set up. Im starting off at a 3/6 or 3/7 but will eventually wanna go lower. Just wanna make sure I like the whole.lowered full size before I jump into all the steps of my goal, a 6/9 or 6/10

Yeah it was it was like adjustable kit I guess Colyn. got me into getting all those parts its really a 4/6 drop but if wanted to go 5/8 you could all you had to do is put on shackles & remove spacers from coils.

oh well shit,people seem to like the arms on the nnbs,i would go arms first that way when you want to go lower you can add parts,if you already have spindle/spring and add lca youll be 7-8 up front lol then your pulling other parts to get it back up.
Beltech SP for shocks

10-4 on Belltech shocks.

So.....I should go with arms if im wanting to go lower later? 3/7 may be perfect once I get it on but id like to keep my options open for later on.
