Re: A 73-87 Drop Spindle Questions
The easiest way is to measure your trucks stock ride higth before you do the drop measure from the bottom and center of the wheel well to the ground on a flat and level surface and record it do both sides and then after you install your drop spindles measure your truck in the same place and record the figures then subtract the figures and thats your drop. This will also let you know your total drop and if both sides have the same amount of drop.

Re: A 73-87 Drop Spindle Questions
Conundrum, I'd like to see how those Dodge 20s fit. I read that you can't fit them with adapters on the front or back. I also saw a photo of the rear redrilled like you mentioned earlier.

Tow Me
Well I haven"t gotten a chance to work on the truck just yet, I have been trying to get some projects hidden and a parts burb stripped as per the city's request. But I should get to start on it with in the next week or so and I plan to start a build thread on it when I do. And I'll be sure to let everyone know how the Dodge 20s workout, and what all I had to do to run them.
