2.5-3" front drop: Spring or spindle

Hey guys one of the things I'm looking at doing with my new c10 is either a 2.5/4 front spindle rear spring drop or a 3/4 front spring rear spring drop. It seams to me that the 3/4 is cheaper since i dont have to buy spindles but what more is there to consider?

spend the money on a spindle up front. you will retain some of your ride while gaining the drop. I did a 3" spring up front to start and just changed to a spindle/spring combo. It rides so much better and not on the bump stops all the time.

Its definitely cheaper if you don't have disc brakes. 3" spring drops in the front are fine and cost effective.
