Re: Post Pics of your Static Drops!!

Front, 2" drop springs and 2.5" drop spindles. The rear is 6" drop springs. In the future I plan to drop the front another inch and the rear 2 more inches.

Re: Post Pics of your Static Drops!!

heres mine with the air bags dumped on the rear(sitting on the bump stops) and torsion bars turned down 5'',drove it around the paved alley's and never rubbed also seemed to handle ok but again it was just in the alley's so no real speed was achieved....also i believe those tires and rims that are shown measured 29'' tall

Re: Post Pics of your Static Drops!!

Does someone make a stock drop spindle for our trucks? I see several trucks on here that say they have 2.5" drop spindles and still have 6 lug wheels.

Here's mine. ~4.5" in the front, with 1.5" stepped LCAs and 3" coils. I haven't dropped the back yet but the c-notch is almost complete and it will have manual-fill air bags, so it'll be basically static in the rear also.

Yes, I have a 6 lug 2 1/2 drop spindle that I got from classic parts 1-800-741-1678, you can also get them from LMC, Brothers, classic auto parts

If by "stock drop spindle" you mean that will work with drum brakes the answer is no you will have to convert to disks if you want drop spindles otherwise Johnboy63 is correct.
