Getting drop spindles

Well as the title says, im going to be getting drop spindles, and i think im going to go with 20's here http://www.discountedwheelwarehouse....ShowLarge=True I have 3in drop springs now, so if i just add the 2in spindles thats 5in of drop. Will the 20's fit? or should i put the stock springs back in. As for the rear, it lowered 4in would i need to lower it more? I think if i go much lower i will need to C-noch it. Right? anyone have any pics of how it will look?
thx,
Polpilot

I'm not positive on the old body style, but you may have some rubbing up front with a 5" drop. i could be wrong, but that seems like a lot.

5" is a lot. You'll be pretty close to the ground. 5/4 would look silly. You're going to need about a 5/7, and yeah, you'll need to notch unless you like your axle sitting on the frame.

It rides nice, I think i may bottem out every now and then but i dont notice. The bump stop it like An inch and a half, 2 inches till bottem out. I just dont like the way the tire sits and wears... i never got an alinment done after i put them in...
