What LT's do you have? What does your front setup consist of? 3" coils? Or 1" coil and 2" drop spindle?

Depends on you current front setup. Haven't seen any spindles or control arms that are a 1" drop though, so that isn't going to work. And like said, what LTs do you have? Do they hang lower than the frame?

You'll have to ditch the 3" coils and go with either 4" control arms with stock coils or get 2" drop coils and a 2" spindle.

My LPP long tubes are above the frame.

The lower control arms will give you a better ride since they keep the stock coil but some people prefer the coils and spindles instead. It's a matter of preferance.

I am happy with my lcas, but haven't had spindles springs to compare to. Both have their positives and negatives. My dynatechs are above the frame too. Most long tubes I have seen are above the frame, its the crossover that will be a little lower. However, the crossover on my dynatechs isn't any lower than the tranny crossmember.
