New member here. Just installed 2.5” drop spindles with new upper control arms, drop coil springs, lower ball joints. The camber is way off (tilt out on top) and the lower control arms rub on the stock wheels. What type of control arms will help put this back to the correct geometry? Will stock tubular ones work or is there a specific type for drop spindles. Thank you all.

You can probably get away with moog problem solver mounting shafts,they are offset. I'll try to find you a pic. Your alignment shop should know this. Found a pic so you understand how they work. Double check the part number for your truck.

Thank you. That is a great idea definitely will look into this. It has been difficult to find a solid answer without buying expensive parts to correct this problem. My hopes are that this will correct ball joint angle and correct the caster issue. See lots of lowered trucks with this problem and the tire wear alone is a great concern. In the end this will save me some money for more parts! Thanks again for the fast reply
