1984 C10 DJM Drop Spindles HELP
 

I'm having clearance issues with my DJM drop spindles, but not with the wheels, with the bump stop. It seems like it's making contact early and not letting the spindle cut far enough, any help/advice from someone that's used drop spindles before?

I will have to look at mine later today and see. I didn't have this problem with mine on my '85.

its not your spindles its that bracket the spindle is hitting cut it off and u should be good to go....my control arms don't have those little brackets.

That's the steering stop, it prevents the steering from moving the wheel too far. Though i remember my CPP spindles having a much shorter steering stop on the control arm side, you could clearance them to provide a shorter turning radius

Well the set on my truck an the extra pair i have only has the bump stops on the arms not the little bracket his spindle is hitting.

I think I'm going to shave a little off the spindle and see if it's enough. I've also realized that once there's weight on the front end, there is a little more clearance but it still doesn't look like enough.
