Western Drop Spindle ?

Anybody running Western drop spindles. If so, do you like them and what wheel size are you using. I have a set,but I'm pretty loyal to Early Classic.

Re: Western Drop Spindle ?

I am running western drop spindles 2.5 inch drop. BUT, I switched the ball joints in my stock 67 control arms and got 73-87 spindles because when I got mine they didn't make them for 67-72 yet. I am running 81-87 disc brake setup also. I had no alignment issues and have had no problems from them except fot the turn radius stops are a little longer than what a 67-72 lower control arm is made for so to remedy this I just trimmed the turn stop down to a shorter length. Drives and handles awesome so no complaints here.
