Default Suspension Opinion

While rebuilding the front brakes on my 72 I also wanted to lower the front end. I'm not a big fan of how it sits higher in the front than the rear so I ordered spindles with a 2" drop. Since I was pulling the spindles anyway I figured I would replace the tie rod ends and ball joints. After reading the sticky about tall ball joints I figured I would go that route. Any issues on using the drop spindles and tall ball joints?

I'm can't see it being a problem unless the spindles you ordered have the tall upper ball joint mount too. I kept the same height ball joint but my spindles have the taller upper mount.

I finally go the last parts for the front end. I'll get everything installed tomorrow (hopefully) and then I can see how it sits.
