your currently lowered with coils right? i would put stocks back in, and put spindles on like you plan, and see if that fixes it.
do you still have the sway bar hooked up?

sway is hooked up, and I bought new ends and bushings for it
and if you haven't been following, THE BUMPSTEER was there before I dropped

if and when a truck rides over an uneven part of the road, a groove etc, and the truck tries to steer away from it, meaning the steering wheel jerks and gets some shimmy to it...that is what I experience.
Is that a perfect representation? No, but Brandon (adjusted) has driven and experienced it, anyone local is more than welcomed to try it out and give me your thoughts. I knew the TRE's were bad when I bought it, I attributed it to those, after fixing them it was a bit better, then came back, got shocks and tires...then did all my front end parts. Seemed to be better when I did ball joints, has progressively gotten worse.

yea, but that was when your shit was worn out, since you replaced it it may be the way your dropped now.
Yah that's bumpsteer
Hows the angle of the control arm in relation to the TRE? should be parrelle

I had bad bumpsteer before I dropped also. 100kmi on all stock front end meant everything was worn out. Now that I'm lowered it is no longer there. The only thing up front I didn't replace are TREs.
Why don't you do like bryan suggested & I did in the static thread. Swap stock coils in and use drop spindles. That seems to be the last thing you have yet to do, so it's worth a shot imo.

because I don't want just 2" of drop. I have my stocks, and as soon as I get my invoice I can order the spindles. I want 3-4" drop total. I may run the v6 springs over my drop springs
Re: My crew cab build thread (shit wagon, hack job)
I know but weren't you waiting to do that because of tires? I understand not doing the work twice though

yeah, fuck doing it twice, maybe I can find v6 springs locally to trade. Or 2" mcg springs to trade
Re: My crew cab build thread (shit wagon, hack job)
Too bad you didn't post about the spring trade before I did mine, I wouldn't have minded a slightly stiffer sping.
I'm sure you'll find someone that wants the adjustability.

rofl, if i were to piece together a kit, i could make something cheap, but mounts would need to be welded onto the frame,

Looks awesome man, totally changed the look of the truck. I agree with what bgray said in another thread, the vho's look a lot better on a Chevy.
