What size drop spindle is installed?

Hey guys...

I was wondering if you can tell me what size drop spindles are installed on the Blazer... it has the standard 15x8 Rallys' installed... and there is very minimal clearance. 2", 2"1/2, 3" from the inside of the wheel lip... someone has to be running this as well... thanks in advance!

Thanks!!
Anthony

My crew has 3" spindles with rallys, I'll measure the gap between the wheel and lower control arm tomorrow.

Cool Anthony!!
I found the blazer thread, that is SHARP!!

I just looked at my truck. The lower arms have been ground for clearance.
It is 2 1/4" from the bottom of the spindle to the inside of the wheel. The bottom of the ball-joint sits about even with the inside of the wheel. do you need pics?
