The 3" spindles are not theirs specifically, they just sell the product. I did not find the specific application, but everything I saw was DJM brand. If it were me, I would look in the vendor marketplace here. Forum vendor "NORCAL SS" has a thread offering to beat any advertised price on suspension components- LINK

Make sure your ready to run some larger diameter wheels. I think you mite have clearance issues if using 15'', but dont know for sure. It's tite with 2.5'' spindles.

**N2TRUX** · 12-27-2010, 11:09 PM

It depends on the width and backspace of the wheel. A 15x7" will clear 15x8 or wider might require you to clearance the A-arm a bit.

Thanx Prortrash64 & N2trux that is some of the issues I was wondering about as I want to run Chevy rallys 15+8's. What issues are you looking at if you bag it with that size wheel...Vernski

My 'burb is bagged with 5-lug Rallys and there are no clearance issues...again, 2.5'' spindles. Like creep mentioned, I too had to grind a slight amount off of the drivers spindle, on top where the caliper fits, to clear the wheel.

Holidays are going good
It is supposed to snow here again tonight But NOTHING like the east coast is getting. I hope things improve for them.
The news showed some ugly situations for the travelers that are stranded there.

I took out all the chairs and stools out of my garage , I get more done if I am not sitting down.

I have 3" DJMs on my truck. I am using the factory steelies from a 92 C/K and I had to grind some of the spindle down for clearance. I also had to grind some of the spindle away to get the passenger side brake caliper on.

Vernski · 12-30-2010, 05:03 PM

Thanx for the feedback creep that helps....Vernski
