What Lowering Spindle brand? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Like I mentioned in a previous post I found some 15x8 ralley wheels so I guess I'm going in that direction. It appears so far that they will work with the 2.5 drop spindles. GMC guy says the Bell Tech 3.0 has fitment problems. Can you give any details?

Any more input on brands and drop with the 15x8 ralley wheels?

I just hate spending money for more problems

i bought the 3 in spindles because i wanted to go as low as possible without having to sacrifice ride quality. all the issues with clearancing are on the lower a-arm. i had to grind down the "lip" on the a-arm, and have my tires re-balanced so the wheel weights wouldn't rub. i still have to take more off the a-arm because i can hear grinding if i turn the wheels all the way to the left. it's basically trial and error....kind of a PITA, but not impossible...
