Re: What Lowering Spindle brand?

I'm running 15x7 with 4.125 bs on djm 3" drop spindles and I don't have any problems with the lower control arms just the ear that holds on the brake caliper, took a little grinding, but there was no chance I was fitting aluminum wheels on it though

Re: What Lowering Spindle brand?

i used the 3 in. Bell Tech spindles with 15x8's, and i had a lot of clearance issues. the stance looks amazing, so i guess it was worth it.

Re: What Lowering Spindle brand?

Well a little progress today. I found a fairly nice set of 15x8 ralley wheels with rings and caps. I think I could have done better in the price. So maybe in a few weeks of hussling I can afford more goodies. Yeah I'm on a budget and I don't think Santa is coming my way As for the flip kts I'm pretty sure it can be flipped with the axle pad carefullly cut off and remounted on the bottom of the axle. Looks like the rest is just bolt on upside down and fabricate some shock extentions (or not). A one coil cut on the front coils and I'm lowed. Maybe not as low as I'm going but I don't have tires for the new wheels yet either.
