Re: Lowering a C20

AIM PARTS DONT BOTHER ME BUT THERE DISCLAIMER ON THERE SPINDLE KIND OF DID Need help call 800-842-8789. Before you buy, read Knowledge Base under RESOURCES on Home Page Use Drop Spindles on standare O.E. offset wheels only. Using an offset Wheel other than factory offset causes stress on spindle shaft & bearings and they can break!!

Thats pretty wild, I wonder how a slightly more offset wheel could put that much more stress on the spindle shaft...

Sounds like typical legal disclaimers. Chances are you won't have any issues as a lowered truck probably doesn't get used very hard compared to the standard 1-ton that could get a lot of abuse and heavy loads.

Re: Lowering a C20

I have the AIM drop spindles and have not had a problem. They've been on the truck for 3yrs. I like them especial when someone says is that a c20 dropped. Yep 3in front 5 in back sits level.
