? for the guys running dropped spindles
I have been running cut coils on the longhorn for about 12yrs , & am looking to upgrade. at present (for time issues), a 2 1/2 " dropped spindle looks to be a good way to go. A 1 1/2" spring, or bags should put me where I want to be on "stance"(along with spindles). With a 2 1/2 drop spindles, are you guys haveing problems with the lower a arms scraping the pavement? thanks for any input, or options.....crazyL

I have 2 1/2 spindles with air bags on my burb and do not have problems unless I have the drive height extremely low were i now it will hit. But at normal driving conditions I have no problems.

attn crazy longhorn
On the leaf rear truck the crossmember at the below the rear cab wall of the truck has the mounting pounts already drilled i it for the factory trailing arms. You could installs these factory trailing arms the just add an early calssics adjustable panhard rod kit and an air ride tech kit for the rear and it would be a fairly simple install.
