DjM or Belltech Drop Spindles? Lay'n LCA's? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

baggedcten · 01-09-2008, 06:19 AM

I'm wanting to buy 3" drop spindles but just wanted to know which ones where better because the Djms are $20 more than the belltechs should i pay the $20 more or should i stay with the belltechs?

Another question im wanting to lay on lca's I have 20's with a 45 series tire bag plates for the top and cup on bottom will i be able to lay by putting on
3"drop spindles? I know that i have to remove the inner fenders cause right know the tire hits them when its aired out.

Use a Belltech 3" spindle and cut the lower cup to 1" or 1.25" tall and it should lay on the lower control arm shaft.

That sounds strange. I have used DJM spindles many times, and they have always been cheaper than Belltech. I would check with Summit Racing @ www.summitracing.com

I got the DJMs from summit about a year ago and they were cheaper than the belltechs. Prices must of changed.

Since no one is saying anything bad about the belltechs i might just get them and with the $13 i'll pay the handling charge.

I am using 3" belltechs on my 86 and am loving them so far.

Belltech > DJM, Mcgaughys, etc

I have 3" DJM's for a 73-87 on my 72 and like them, no problems. I am also using RE 7 bags with top plate and 1" cut off of bottom cup, rollin on 20's and can't lay LCA. How come you guys can?
