I don't know of anyone making a 2" spindle spec'd for an 8-lug application. Of the one's I do know about for the heavy trucks, they yield 3" of drop so you wouldn't need new shocks (spindles don't change shock travel).

The rear will require shackles & front hangers for 4" drop.

I am looking for drop spindles too. Western Chassis never got back to me.

POL and Airbagit were the only places I found them.

I havent bought them yet though...

I bought the ones from airbagit a couple years ago, before I was a member here and didnt know any better. I've had them in my truck since and never had a problem. When I first got them I thought one of them was machined wrong so they sent me a new one, turns out I had a faulty tape measure! Lol :dohh:

Airbagit does have a few small parts that are ok,I seen a pair or there drop beams for a f150 that worked well.But i would still stay away from them unless its my only option.
