Drop Spindle ?
I bought a 67 Stepper with drop spindles on it . I was wanting to know how to tell how much drop they have before I order my coil springs ?
 This doesn't have a drive train in it so I know I cant measure it .

Re: Drop Spindle ?
Do you know what brand of drop spindal? I believe most drop spindals are 2.5" dropped. I run ECE drop sipndals (2.5") with 2" drop springs...which I think is a really nice looking height for the front.

Re: Drop Spindle ?
Yep, I've seen 2" and 2.5", but can't say that I've ever seen anything more, or less than that. Doesn't mean they don't exist, but I think I can say with some confidence that those two measurements are the most popular.

Re: Drop Spindle ?
BellTech makes/made a 3" spindle. If they are BellTech there should be a part # cast on the back side of the spindle. If the part # starts with a 3, they are 3 " spindles

Re: Drop Spindle ?
 Odds are they'e 2.5", unless they're Belltechs like stated, but I'm sticking with the odds on this one. Let us know what you find out.
