What size wheels do you run or will you run?

I think all drop spindle manufacturers have 2.5" drop spindles and the 1/2" wont make that much difference unless your running 15" wheels. I am no expert on drops, so I think you would be better off talking to one of the vendors here on the board. look in the suspension threads.

Good luck.

I have only seen 2.5" or 3"

I think the new "Modular" spindles from CPP are only 2" drop.
