that's funny. I noticed no difference in my turning radius when I installed mcgaughy's spindles. Not all drop spindles are made the same.

I personally would drop it with spindles before I would go with a lower control arm. The spindles are easy as hell to install. Took me less than 30 minutes per side......

i didnt have any difference in steering either with my belltechs. do spindles up front and take out the middle leaf in the rear till you can find some stock hangers and a flip kit.

my spindles only affected my turning radius because I got the McGaughys 2" drop spindle to fit 16"+. The 17"+ doesnt affect the radius

I Went From Stock To A 4/6. I Got The Djm 4" Control Arms For The Front. With The Arms, You Dont Have To Do A Tie Rod Flip Kit Or Flip The Sway Bar.and For The Back, I Did A Flip Kit & C-notch, But Had A Spring Perch Welded On The Bottom Of The Axle. I Took The Djm Axle Cups Off Because They Were Noisy. I Also Put The Toxic Shocks On It. I Kept The Stock Spring & Spindle On The Front. I Still Have All The Turning Radius I Did Before. It Still Rides Like It Did Stock.
