I have used several McGaughy kits and get the best fit and turning radius without any problems.

FYI guys, Western Chassis has a good "made in the USA" dropped spindle also. I ran them with my 15" American Racing wheels with no clearance or turning radius problems. Bolted right onto my stock suspension stuff. Been running them since maybe 2004 with no issues.
