Jay, I don't have the real details. But what I remember reading on DT was there was a chamber adjustment issue, along with the tie rod ends needed to be cut. I'm thinking the control arm is shorter than the OEM arm causing the top of the tire to lean out and being shorter the tie rod ends required to be shorten to get the toe-in adjusted. There might be an advantage here if you also went with custom upper control arms that are also shorter. This would effectively move the entire wheel inboard and increase clearance with the fender lip. Research is needed to nail down the details.
Just a note: drop spindles use stock shocks and maintain stock geometry.
