Lightbulb LMC Drop Kit Compatible with 1/2 T and 3/4 T?

I assume you guys are familiar with the various drop kits available through LMC Truck.

Quick question- They are all listed for 1/2 T models, but are they compatible with 3/4 T also?

If Anyone has done this please post it here and some pictures if you have any!

I don't think you can use the 1/2 for 3/4. You can also get better components for a much better price elsewhere.

i'm pretty sure those kits are Mcgaughy's kits...

much better pricing out there, i got the drop spindles (part number MC33153) for 213.89 + free shipping from grunion fabrication

they have Mcgaughy's complete kits as well

Re: LMC Drop Kit Compatible with 1/2 T and 3/4 T?

There are some threads here of guys who have dropped their 3/4. You can get the front drop spindles for about $400 from what I understand from http://www.performanceonline.com/home.php..You can do a flip kit on the back. But I can tell you from looking at some of the other builds, you cannot use the 1/2 ton with out changing out rear end ect...
