Re: One Bad 84

So I'm looking for a pair of eagle alloy 225 20" x 8.5 for my front. If anyone has these I'd be willing to trade my 10" for them! Lemme know! Thanks

Re: One Bad 84

Haven't messed with the front spindles yet.. I'm afraid it's not going to work. So I've been on the hunt for some rallies or someone to trade some 10" front wheels with... I will install the notch this weekend! Pics to follow

Re: One Bad 84

So today I went to put the c notch on. Realized the cutting torch was out of oxygen so I decided what the heck ill put the spindles on the front and see what happens. What happened was a nightmare! First took the passenger side all off and installed the spindle, went to put the caliper bolts back on and they hit the 1" rotors . So I check the stamped number on the spindle and JEGS has sent me spindles for the 1 3/4" rotors. So I get the idea to go to oreilly with my old rotor and compare... The other size is slightly shorter and a tad bit thicker. So I buy both and install them. That went good... Bled the breaks and went to roll around the driveway Nd the pads are too tight and locking up... So I guess i need diff. Calipers with the new rotors I assume? Anyone know about this. Also I had to grind off the inside lip of the fenders... Looked good but the top of my tires are rubbing the upper fender wells.... So I think I need diff calipers and remove the fender well/ tubs. Help on this situation would be appreciated. Left the truck at the shop and came home, I was super frustrated. Good thing is, the stance looks killer! Just what I wanted... Just gotta finish it off and make it road ready. Here's some pics!

Re: One Bad 84

So got the front drop finished , had to remove the fender wells. Still have a little rubbing on bumps. It is getting aligned right now. Here is how she sits.

Re: One Bad 84

You need the calipers for 1 1/4 rotors.

Re: One Bad 84

same drop i'm doing on mine... i ordered the Mcgaughy's 1 1/4" rotor drop spindles too, and will replace all the brake hardware to the 1 1/4" rotor size, since mine has 1 inch rotors and hardware from the factory...
looks great man!

Re: One Bad 84

Yeah that's what I got.. Luckily the other ones are working for now. I guess I need brake lines for them too because the other ones didn't fit./. And my wheels had to come off because he front is rubbing too bad. I'm using a set of rqllies I got from my buddy max for now

what was wrong with the brake lines, too short? I bought a complete front brake kit, because it was cheaper than buying all the pieces separately to go from 1 to 1 1/4" I hope they all fit

Re: One Bad 84

The end of the line that attaches to the caliper was the wrong size
