WTB Drop Spindles
 
Looking for a 2 or 3in set for my 84 C10.
I know there is a set on ebay but I cant afford $200 now and was wondering if there was a set here for less.
I also have a SWB box or canopy I would trade for.

u need to specify which rotors u have

John39671 05-13-2005 10:24 AM

12in.

bodydropped 05-13-2005 10:36 AM

no thickness

John39671 05-13-2005 05:35 PM

Do you mean the thickness of the rotor? If so it is just the stock rotor that came on the truck in 84.

well i got bored and look at the specs 73-87 some had 1 1/4 rotors and 73-80 had 1inch rotor rule of thump if u can fit ur pinky in the middle its a 1 1/4 if not then its a 1 inch

yeah me too, anyone have any dropped spindles. I've got a 74 Jimmy with 1 1/4 rotors on it. I am poor college student trying to maintain 3 trucks at a time, please help :)

i just bought a set off of here and there 3 inch well needless to say it lowered my truck way more than what i wanted and to top it all off if i run them on my truck again i have to have atleast 16s or bigger so my rims dont screw my lower a-frame up i drove it a block and my aframe was all cut up from them so make sure u want to go 3 inch or 2 inch

You can run 15" wheels if you grind the lower control arms to get the required clearance. I have run a set of 3" Belltech spindles for 1.5 years with 15" rallys with no problems after grinding the stock control arms. I drive my truck everyday and I don't baby it.

Most spindles I have seen are either 2.5" or 3" drop.

i had to trim the pass side down but the drivers i would have to grind the crap out of it and renforce it but i already had either 2 or 3 inch springs and when i lwt my truck down i had to jack the frame up to get the jack out from under the aframe and i had to switch my tires around and i would end up modify the inner fenders if i was goin to keep it as a daily

Still looking. I have 1 1/4 rotors.
