Mcgaughys, To keep your turning radius you need to grind some of the spindle to clear the lower balljoint IIRC.
I know Dezert1500 has pics and more info

Keep in mind, LAwson that you can't run a 16" wheel on a 4x4 with a drop spindle. I noticed in yer sig that ya hadda 4x4, I went thru the same thing. 17" minnimum for us 4x4 guys..........................
