What da ya suggest? Are drop spindles from one vendor the same as another?
It depends how low you're trying to get at ride height. For the extra 1/2" drop with 3" spindles, you're gonna run into clearance issues between the LCA and 15" wheels as Jeff mentioned. But, many just trim the gutter lip of the LCA to solve the problem. Others run a larger wheel, so clearance should no longer be an issue. (Although Scoti mentioned in a previous post that he's running 18x8s in front and had to trim the LCA.) I haven't heard of anyone running into this problem with the 2 1/2" drop spindles.

DMJ, Western Chasssis and Bell Tech all make decent drop spindles with pretty much the same specs.

You can argue with me but you can't argue with figures. Two half nothings is a whole nuthin...
