Re: Drop spindles for a 1 ton

That would be a 4" shackle\hanger drop.

My concern with the rear is with issues like pinion angle, bumpstop clearance, whether the overloads fit or need to be removed, etc. Any actual experiences with this would be appreciated.

Check w/member 502SS on his build. He should have some miles w/the shackle/hanger combo on the road.

I have Western Chassis spindles on my dually. They installed w/no unexpected issues.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: Drop spindles for a 1 ton

I've had the Western Chassis stuff on my crew cab for about 6 years now. No problems what so ever. I have spindles and hanger/shackle combo.
