Spindle recommendation for 87 SWB
Spent hours searching this forum.
Lowering my stock 87 SWB with 1.25" rotors and will be running my stock 8" ralleys. I want to lower the front 2.5"-3". I don't want the spindle to move the wheels outboard like I hear Bell Tech spindles do. Please recommend spindles for my application and best pricing. I have used Western and DJM in the past, but searching this forum, I hear of so many others. Would like some first hand experience. |

CPP Modular 2" drop spindles, sounds like what you need.
They don't move the wheels out. http://www.classicperform.com/NewPro...op_Spindle.htm

x2. CPP's are the only player in the game w/this requirement.

Re: Spindle recommendation for 87 SWB
OK, disregarding the offset requirement, which brand name spindle would you recommend for me and who is the best source for pricing?

Re: Spindle recommendation for 87 SWB
Western Chassis, Bell Tech, McGauhy's, & DJM all offer quality products. Convenience for you, price, & availability would be considerations when choosing.
The ones to avoid would be Chassis Tech (AIM). I've never had issues w/the actual spindles (and I have used them more than once back in the day), but their customer service is suspect. Check in the Suspension Marketplace & see what's on sale from our supporting vendors. Help those that support our truck hobby.

Re: Spindle recommendation for 87 SWB
CPP also has a new non-modular casting that accepts the stock brakes, but does not move the wheels out. Stay away from the 3" drop spindle if you plan on running 15" wheels...
