I know you've already purchased this, but you'd get a better ride quality with 2" spindles and 1" coils up front. Only thing with spindles is you'll probably have to replace your balljoints after installing them. I destroyed 3 out of 4 balljoint boots trying to remove the balljoints with a pickle fork.

Gang, is there a press that one can use to remove balljoints without damaging the boots?
