3" Drop Spindle for 88-98 1/2ton

Gathering parts to do the 88-98 6-lug disc swap on my 64. I can't seem to find anyone making 3" drop spindles for the 88-98 1/2 tons. Anyone?

By the lack of responses I'll take that as a no. How about 2.5"? I can only seem to find 2" for 88-98...

I just looked and DJM, Western Chassis, Bell Tech, Ground Force are all 2". I can't bring my self to look at ShAIM. Have you checked there?

I just did a 4/6 0n my 88 this winter and I couldn't find anything lower than 2". I went with DJM. Doug

I swear I had a 3" in my 88 LWB EC. I know it was Bell Tech, and I "thought" it was 3". Could it be that they once made them, and no longer do?

6 lug was considered a 3/4 ton in 88. I know mine is.

Hmmmmm... Very interesting. Is it our standard 6-lug pattern?

if i remember correctly, 2" is the max for 88-98. i think the 3" only comes in the drop control arms
