6/8 drop this summer?

well, you guys remember the loud scraping sound i was complaining about before. well i found out what it was, it was the inner wheel bearing digging its way into the spindle! i had to break the bearing to get the wheel hub off, and that left the inside retainer to the bearing attached to the spindle. it was dug in good and deep over 1/2" i had to take my dremel to it to get it off the spindle. i'm suprised that they did check it out when it was in the shop, since my dad did say he was haveing them check out everything to make sure my truck was completely safe

so anyway, i replaced the bearing and its doing good and rides good, but the spindle will have to be replaced since it was messed up so bad, the hub still has a hard time getting off.

so i'm thinking that this summer when i replace the spindles, i will get some djm 3" spindles along with some new 3" coils and new stuff for the rear to do a 6/8 drop
