When I did my 3/6 drop on my YXL with 24s I had no issues. Tony told me that more than 3" you will need the camber kit.

After a while I decranked bout .5-.75" and my alignment guy said the adjustments were maxed but it was within specs. So you should be good if the alignment guy knows what he is doing.

alright good to hear that! thanks, now to find a good shop that deals with lowered vehicles often. most around here usually come up with excuses that they cannot align it because its too low or watever excuses they make

I actually found the guy that supplies the alignment machines for the whole city and he also did alignments so it just worked out.

The thing with spindles is that they dont change a-arm geometry or ball joint angles at all. They only raise the spindle location which lowers the rig. So unless you have aftermarket keys that drastically change the geometry or ball joint angles you should be fine.

Fyi when I dropped my YXL it was with lower A arms. So that may have changed to geometry...
