Looking for a 2 or 3in set for my 84 C10.
I know there is a set on ebay but I cant afford $200 now and was wondering if there was a set here for less.
I also have a SWB box or canopy I would trade for.

John39671 · 05-13-2005, 10:24 AM

12in.

bodydropped · 05-13-2005, 10:36 AM

no thickness

John39671 · 05-13-2005, 05:35 PM

Do you mean the thickness of the rotor? If so it is just the stock rotor that came on the truck in 84.

bodydropped · 05-14-2005, 03:21 AM

You can run 15" wheels if you grind the lower control arms to get the required clearance. I have run a set of 3" Belltech spindles for 1.5 years with 15" rallys with no problems after grinding the stock control arms. I drive my truck everyday and I don't baby it.

Most spindles I have seen are either 2.5" or 3" drop.

i had to trim the pass side down but the drivers i would have to grind the crap out of it and renforce it but i already had either 2 or 3 inch springs and when i lwt my truck down i had to jack the frame up to get the jack out from under the aframe and i had to switch my tires around and i would end up modify the inner fenders if i was goin to keep it as a daily
