lower control arms are level and parallel to the ground, and no dropped spindles. i looked at the spindles when i had front apart for spring replacement. i didnt notice if the top had a spring pocket for the flat of the spring, but i do believe the lower a frame had the pocket your talking about. will check afco and eibach as well. according to afcos website, i have what is considered type 3 spring. flatend on one end, open on the other.
