I ordered some summit drop spindles for my 86 SWB, b/c of the price, but I should of asked if anybody ever ran into any problem with these? Are they any good? Do they push out your wheel? THAnks..

Can any of the later model guys share anything on the Summit spindles?

Aren't they a name-brand spindle just sold under the summit name?

rddiaz · 09-03-2008, 09:36 PM

Someone has got to know about these spindles? I can't be the first person to buy them!!!

I was'nt aware summit had their own brand spindles. Only problem they might have is that you can't run a 15" stock wheel on them. My djm 3" spindles are like that.

smashingchuck · 09-04-2008, 01:37 PM

I believe they are made by "ground force". I've never had a problem with anything bearing the "summit" brand name.

You want plates or cups. Most folks run plates on top and cups on bottom.

Think these are what you are talking about.

I have seen someone on here that sells them too ill try and find it.
Plates

rddiaz · 09-04-2008, 09:59 PM

Yes, those are the plates that I'm looking for. I'm just running the plates b/c I got the drop member, so I don't need the tops. Thanks guys

Make sure you get the correct spindle for the correct size brake rotors on your truck. The 73-87 spindles have two choices available. One is for the early design 1.250" thick brake rotors. The other is for the "light duty" verison,.... which is the 1" thick brake rotor. Make sure you order the correct spindle.
