Where can I purchase standard height spindles for my '87? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I find lowered spindles everywhere. I have 2 1/2" dropped spindles now. I want to go back to standard ones due to a big block install. Truck is too low and rubs badly. Didn't find them in LMC or Brothers.

tks, Kenny

Try your local wrecking yard.

I have a pair of stockers I just pulled off an 84...they're in great shape. What brand are your drop-spindles? I may be interested in a trade deal.

I have a pair off my 83, they are heavier then hell though! I imagine shipping would be very costly.

Thanks for the offers... That sounds like a pretty good idea. I need to raise it a couple inches to offset the weight difference. With the BBC in it now, I don't think I'll get it out of the driveway. I have the original springs from where I bought the truck last year. I may try swapping them first. Of course, my wife told me today, "Maybe we should just air bag it". I said, That's a good idea!!!
