There have been a lot of lowered 97-03's here and at FTW over the years. Some people have needed adjustable camber bolts to get the alignment within specs, but that's it. Also, I'm not a lowering expert, but I believe only a few companies make lowered spindles for the 97-03's.

yea you should just need camber bolts for the front to get it aligned.

If you do spindles you will need 18" or larger wheels in the front to clear

When using drop spindles is it a must do get the upper control arms? And if so any recommendations on them and the camber bolts?
