2.5" Drop Spindles

[biohazardbill]

Is there one brand that is better than the others? Looking for a set for 73-87 and there are so many to choose from. HD, LD, and tigers oh my...

What year truck?
What width rotors?
It all matters.

66 burb. Don't have rotors etc yet.

Buy 65-70 conversion spindles.
Everyone makes them.
They use standard HD 1-1/4" 5-lug rotors or aftermarket 6-lug rotors.
No balljoint change or tie rod change that would be required if you use 71-72 or 73-87 spindles.
$219 is the going price for these.
Performance Online, CPP sell these.
Actually all the companies sell them.
Belltech, McGaughy's and Western Chassis are usually higher.

Thanks for the link. I have 74 control arms I can put on after I get them powder coated

So you would suggest these?

I have a Summit retail location less than 15 minutes from me so it saves shipping costs if the shipping time says it will ship same day, otherwise I would go through vendors on the board.

Sure!
Those will work great.
Just remember that these are 73-87 spindles for the 1-1/4" rotors.
(Calipers and bearings will have to match).
Also the balljoints and tie rods will have to match.
The easiest solution is to use all 73-87 steering.
Centerlink, inner and outer tie rods, pitman arm and idler arm.

I have all this from where I got the control arms from so I am good there, thanks.

According to the link you gave me when it comes to rotors and bearings if I order for the 74 then it should be HD anyway correct?

3.2) LD or Light Duty rotors: (1" wide version) available from 81-87.
