You should have only cut ONE round off the stock springs.

With 2 rounds cut and drop spindles your tires must be hitting or even resting on the inner fenders as well as your lower control arms practically touching the ground.

Correct. That's the new issue. Originally, I was hoping to get enough drop without buying spindles. Now I need new springs.

Back in the day they used a 1/2" spacer and longer Aarm bolts to kick the top of the tire back out, The Drop Shop in LA dropped my 83 with this kit when going with 2 cut coils, still running this setup 32 years later
