81ratrodc10 05-13-2010 02:32 PM

Re: drop ?
 
so i rotated my tires today and mesured my drop its a 1 inch spindel with 3 inches out of the springs so i guess i was told right

3r!c84 05-13-2010 02:36 PM

Re: drop ?
 
theres no 1inch drop spindle.it must be stock

81ratrodc10 05-13-2010 02:40 PM

Re: drop ?

I got my 1/2 ton springs out of an 80 short stepper, had 3 leaves and one overload. They may vary dependent on options (heavy half, etc), but that is what mine had....Oh yeah, I sh** canned the overlaods.
