1.5" rotor drop spindles??? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Is there such a thing? I have found some used drop spindles but the gentleman selling them said they came off of an 89 suburban and believed they were built for 1.5" rotors. Could that be true?

Nope

1.25" or 1"...those are the two different sizes.

Ok. He said they are for the "thicker" rotors. They should work on my 78own with gd rotors right?

Only way to be sure it to measure the rotors you have on your truck now.

i got my hands on a set of new 3 inch drop spindles really cheep ($80) off ebay for the "thicker" rotors I be leave 1 1/4" I was able to use them but had to change the calipers, brake line hose and rotors parts was about $120 extra witch I didnt mind since its the HD brake setup

one thing to mention is the new brake line hose's has to be "slightly" bent to be mounted with the drop spindles that I had I didnt have to change any thing else
