1989 c1500 drop spindle DJM Suspension Vs Belltech spidles

I have a stander size 1989 c1500. I want to lower it 3 inches. DJM Suspension are 4" long and says that 15ich rims don't fit, i own a set of 454ss 15inch rims and I dont want to sale them . Belltech spindle are 4 1/2 long and i heard that i have to roll the fender for them to work with 15inch rims ????????

Need a little help choosing spindles not breaking the bank ...???

You have to trim the control arm to fit, not the fender. I have belltechs and had to trim my a-arms to fit my 17"s.

I don't like BellTech spindles because they widen the track width. They do this to eliminate the rubbing issues with smaller diameter wheels.

Go with the DJM spindles, trim your control arms and you'll be just fine.

I could have used this when I dropped the truck a while back. Too late now though :lol:
