Belltec sells offset bushings and alignment plates. I have the bushings only with the belltechs first spindle design and its right on the acceptable side of specs but with the milage ive put on it the tires show no irregular wear. 4/7 btw

I would also recommend the bushings. Easier than grinding out the upper control arm bolt slots imo.

At what point do you need to use the alignment bushings or plates or both?

When you are out of range with the stock camber/caster adjustments.

Or likely more than 2in front drop depending on how you are lowering it.

I have 2" drop coils now. I have Bell Tech struts and was considering getting some spindles.
I'd keep the struts at zero and use the coils and spindles for a 4" drop.
Should I just get both plates and bushings to be on the safe side?

Thanks

Every truck is a little different but i would get the 2511 spindles and the offset bushings and go from there.

Ok cool.
Do you happen to have a part number for the offset bushings?
Thanks
