I have ekstensive control arms to lay 24s. I know about how there's better arms out there but I came across these for a good deal so it's what I have .heres the question , when I bagged the front and installed the arms I noticed my spindle are in fact not 2" drop spindles. When I bought the truck it had 5/7 kit. Which I figured were 3" drop arms and a 2" spindle. Turns out it was 2" coil spring. What I want to know is will it hurt anything or be dangerous to run the stock spindles now with my 24s ? Until I can buy my 2" drop spindles!

It will give you more camber and depending on cup size and tire size, It may not lay

But it is safe to drive on? I don't mind camber and it's not gonna lay until I get 2" spindles. It lacks right at 2" to layout.
I don't see any reason it wouldn't be safe as long as you aren't laying it out if the actual bag and ball joints are what will be supporting the weight of the truck with no air. the continue stress on the ball joints and bag could damage either one to the point they would fail if you do repeatedly leave it compressed like that.
