Default LCA, UCA, and spindle combo

Are there any problems I should look for with 3" LCA and 2" spindles. I'm choosing this combo b/c I have an odd truck. It has torsion bar front end but 2wd. Some sites call them VHO's. What ever that means. Its a 2004 Sierra. I have 2" spindles with lowered keys know. I want to put the stock keys back and add LCA's. What do you guys think?

Most Defenitely Go With A Spindle, But I Dont Think You Can Run That Combo. Even If It Will Work I Wouldnt Do It. You Will Run Into Some Querky Suspension Problems.

Stick With Those Dropped Keys And Then Use A Spindle.

But what if I want to go from 4" to 5" in the front. I would really like to do 5" in the front and I can't think of any other method.

I like the look of tucking the tire. I also have to figure out what size front tire to go with and that will match the rear stock Goodyears.

I Just Think Using A Spindle And Control Arm Together Is A Bad Idea.... Torsion Keys Should Be Adjustable From 2" To 3" ......include That With A Spindle You Got 4" To 5" Of Drop.
