Re: mcgaughys vs. chassis tech drop spindles

I've heard the 15" rim interference is regardless of manufacturer of spindle. Its a mathmatical issue.
As you lower the ride height of the spindle, it raises the center point of the rim higher in relation to the lower control arm. so, the rather small diameter of a 15" rim causes the rim to hit the lower control arm while turning....
So, my memory tells me its a drop spindle issue, not a who manufactured the spindle issue...

Someone correct me if I'm incorrect here, as I'm about to mount my Chassis Tech spindles soon...


The only issue I have with Chassis Tech/AIM stuff is....
I never get anything I've bought from them on my vehicles.... bought some front & rear lowering springs for my 2000 2wd Silverado... then sold it before I got the stuff on (still have the F/R springs), now I have spindles that have been getting dusty since Sept for my 68... Ok, maybe it me...
just my .02 cents worth...
