it is 2 or 3 inches lower. I think it is the spindles that lower it.

I has 2 inch drop coils and a 1 inch drop spindle. Be sure the coils are all the way in the mounts.

can i swap the spindles????its a diffrent set up, mine on my 2000 are sealed and everything no dust cap or anything, just 3 bolts holding the hub onto the spindle. But the spindle and hub i got off the 2003 have the dust cover with non sealed bearing and a completly diffrent rotor, well the rotor looks diffrent, not sure if it is thicker or anything. Is it ok to switch it over???

You would have to use EVERYTHING from the 2003. Just make sure that the brake line is the same style (which I think it is). The area where you are probably going to run into issues is if they changed the front wheel speed sensor design between '00 & '03. If they did, then you are in for some fun! If not, you should be able to use the control arms out. Check to make sure that the control arms line up properly and start throwing it together.
