weird but interesting spindle question
Long story short, im trying to figure out a strategy to lower my crew cab shorty. Being that I like day dream about lowering my pickup, but cant seem to decide how, its taking my mind to all sorts of wierd places. For example slammed 8 lug, or maybe 5 lug conversion (as i have a 1/2 ton rolling chassis for spare parts), or something really weird like 6 lug???
Here's where the method to my madness is coming from. Please note, I have not picked any one of these yet, but I am recently intrigued by the possibility of going 6 lug all the sudden after looking a bucannon's 2wd 6 lug lift spindle thread. This started when my father in law informed me he thought he had a set of drop spindles laying around. He made a convincing story on how the green mile would look cool, and be cheaper in the long run to go 5 lug, and stick in my 12 bolt from my rolling chassis. Much to my dismay i realized they were Belltech 2400 spindles which are for the 88-98 pickups with 1" rotor. Crappy end to that story....or maybe not? I was surfing around a few threads and noticed some of the belltech spindles stamped 2400, are actually 2500's (same casting just different spindle stub lenght). Which is kind of good news even though i have not measured my spindles yet. The 2500's are the larger stub of the 2 to fit 1.25 rotors, and also fit the c2500ld 6 lug hubs. Then the light bulb go off ![]() That would be cool...either 5 lug or 6 lug. 6 lug lowered would look wierd and cool, which is kinda my thing, and would open up endless rear end combinations, like a newer junkyard disk rear from 99 to present pickup. I know 6 lug wheel choice gets wierd, but i like the baby step initial thought of this. I like doing stuff on the cheap, and have good connections. Sorry for the eurika type rant...this was just a long way of saying/asking that im cheap....have these spindles....and want to know if they fit, haha. |
