Hey all, I just finished putting on 2.5 drop spindles from Bell tech on the '68. i have a 73-87 front crossmember with disc brakes. I am running 15 x 8 truck ralleys. The problem I have is the lower control arm wants to rub on the inside of the wheel. I know this has been discussed before, but I tried a search and can't seem to find the answer. Should I use a spacer or just grind off part of the bottom edge of the lower control arm? It won't take much too clear the wheel. It is just enough to stop rotation though. Any advice is always appreciated!!
Thanks,
Shawn
