I'm converting my 68 and I'm trying to see how low i can go without spindles.

yes only DM,2.5" spindles, and 224c firestone bags.
My frame lays hard in fact I think with the tiny rubber I can slide a 2x4 flat under the tire and still be on the floor.
I know that Nate from PB says that to lay out the designed formula for the DM is 29" dia. tire+ DM+ 3" spindle= frame flat on ground.
change any part of the formula (say no spindles) should change the end result... ( 3" from laying out.) Ideally know how much ground clearance you want as an end result BEFORE you start ordering parts. My burb will probably drive with about 2.5 to 4 inches depending on my mood but I've been driving lowered cars for close to 15 years and like it.
