>>Does one have to worry about the camber if he uses Drop Spindles and Lower
control arms?
I mean, if these bolt on items don't do what they say, why should I buy
them??<<

the real issue isn't the Spindles, but if you use them in conjunction with a
dropped spring then you'll have the camber problem. The suspension system in
the 87-90 Dakotas don't have enough adjustment to compensate for the
springs... it's not the spindles or the control arms themselves.
Also, you can't use the spindles and the Control arms at the same time...
your spring pockets will be below the scrub line and the truck will lay on
the spring pockets. Your best bet is a spindle and a spring combination.
Out back, figure in an axtra 1" of drop for the long bed.
