WTB Drop Spindles

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.

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

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
