If you are only using spindles, you don't need a drop shock. The shock length don't change with spindles, as they only move the wheel center up.

mike, if u see this, you run edelbrocks on the front? don't you have dropped springs? or does edelbrock make a shock to compensate for that..?

he uses 2.5" spindles and 1.5" drop springs. so there is only 1.5" of difference between his front and stock, which allows him to use the edelbrocks.

Yeah, what Eric said.

so what's the biggest spring drop you can do while still using stock length shocks?
