When I installed the spindle I had to set the strut to zero. So that actually raised the tie rod.

I trimmed the lower crossmember when I installed my first drop kit. Then the tie rod. And this time it was the plastic inner fender.

I rubbed for the first time today. With my wife, daughter and I in the cab we hit a good sized bump and rubbed a little.

Now when you say inner fender you what part did you cut out? Also when you rubbed what actually rubbed im just wondering instead of doing 5.5 drop doing a 5". Also another thing did notching the lower cross member actually help when I got my last alignment they said the lower control arm was maxed out and I have a slight negative camber nothing bad but id like my front wheels to sit perpendicular to the ground instead of slighting tilting in.

I cut some above the tire. And I had to remove a bolt and trim a platic pin that held some wire. And look up the instructions for installing belltech 3" lowering coils on their website. It shows how.

I bought the spindles on amazon.com. I paid $355 shipped.
