Re: Western Chassis.. anybody use them?
I've used Western Chassis several times since 1988 when I first dropped my 68. They had just introduced a new product..... the dropped spindle. It's amazing how much stuff is available now vs. then.
Their c-section & flip kits are made w/.250" steel w/powder coating & the spindles fit w/o issue. I can't say anything about their drop springs because for 2" spring drops, I've always just trimmed 1-coil from the existing springs unless they were obviously compromised in some way. Google sporttruck direct for individual parts.

Coils, spindals, shackels and hangers on my truck. No problems. Paint the spindals before installing them. The spindals rust and look bad if you don't paint them.

Re: Western Chassis.. anybody use them?
I have used Western Chassis, BellTech, and DJM. I have never had a problem with any of them. It's hard to beat DJM for the price, but Western Chassis will do just fine too...

Western puts out some good stuff. You can get individual parts from Sport Truck Direct.
