Should I use stock ball joints with 3.500 tweeds list spindles or stock length balls joints?

I would just use the stock ones. The lift spindle are still set-up for stock location as far as the trailing arms and ball joints are concern.

"Long travel" ball joints are WEAK!!!!!! A guy I know broke some on the street very quickly after installing them. His car was a mall queen. Didn't want to get it dusty.

Use stock good quality ball joints.
