...the control arms were sitting on the bumpstops
Deffinetly don't want to do that, that is why I'm going with the spindles, I don't want a crappy ride.
... and it had a 3" rear block
Can't do blocks, it's against my religion.
When I first lowered my truck I had the stock wheels with 195/60/14's & the tires tucked into the fenders no problem. I would stick with a standard off set wheel, this way you don't have to change the bed or front fenders, unless this is a mod you want to do?
It depends really, I really like the wheels in the picture, the wheels that are on there now I don't really like, so I'll see what offset the ones I have on there now have cause they sit about 1/2" too far in.
