Re: what spindles to run

I have the DJM 3" spindles on my 85 with the 15x8 rims. <-- I think 8"

Anyways I was able to put the rims on but not turn them when first installing the spindles.

I had to grind a tiny bit of metal off the spindle just above where the top of the caliper sits.

Don't worry about the grinding the metal though- I was literally like thousandths of an inch I took off.

Best drop for your money without changing the geometry of the suspension in my opinion.
The spindes ran like 220 or so for the 1 1/4" big brakes.

I always use the DJM 3" spindle.

15" wheels will require some grinding for clearance
