I heard drop spindles push your wheels out like 1/4 of an inch. I don't want bad wear on my tires. So if i bag my truck on 18s would you guys recommend me using them or not?

Currently running 18" with no drop spindles. Will lay frame, but you will have to modify the lower and upper control arms some to make it work. Drop spindles would mean less modification to the arms, but you would probably have to run without fenders. And yes, drop spindles do move the rims out +/- 1/2" each side. 4x4 fenders help, but only to a point. Better to run stock parts and tuck the tire (camber).
