DJM 3" from Summit. $250

i have been looking at spindles also, the best price i found was http://www.earlyclassic.com/catalogpg11.html it looks like $199 for 73 to 87 spindles. You might check shipping prices to your area......its possible that you can pay more for the spindles, & still come out ahead on shipping charges. i would like to hear more also, as i have not orderd yet! crazyL

I use Summit for Bell Tech brand spindles. Mainly, Summit has free shipping and that usually makes them a bit cheaper than the rest.

Summit is a great source and their shipping deal is probably the best. I've bought many items from them specifically due to their great customer service. Classic Performance Products, Early Classic Enterprises... may also be good choices...got to check out their rates.

I went with CPP because their spindles are shipped with a pair of new ball joints, at least they were with my 71.

sactoc10, how happy were you with the quality of CPP's products?

LowSeventy · 05-13-2004, 03:03 PM

I didn't like the fact that CPP makes you change out your ball joints and tie rods to use their spindles. They were actually selling Western spindles. I bought the Early Classic ones because they fit my stock front end with no mods. Somebody told me one that you couldn't run a stock wheel with a Bell tech 3" spindle, which is something else to consider.

stock wheel and Bell Tech 3 inch spindle......(my wife's Blazer)

MOTHERTRUCKERS · 05-15-2004, 07:12 AM

Lowseventy Western spindles are a direct bolt in with no ball joint or tierod change needed.

I've had Belltech and DJM spindles.....would recommend DJM first though.

That's gotta be WAY more than a 3" Drop. With my 3" Drop spindles, and 1" shorter than stock wheels, it looks nowhere NEAR as slick as that Blazer! Come on, give up your secrets
