Re: Drop spindles
I have CPP drop spindles (manufactured by Western suspension) and they are awesome. McGaughy's are also good from what I hear. Make sure you buy ones that are made in the USA.

Re: Drop spindles
I have seen the other brands but $144 is a hard deal to beat.

Re: Drop spindles
Belltech products are great IMO.
 I didn't see the ones for our trucks on the JCW site. All I saw were the ones for S-10/S-15's.

Re: Drop spindles
I have Belltech drop spindles on all 3 of my trucks and think they're great... Definitely a quality product. Belltech has been building suspension components for years and $144 bucks is a heck of a deal.

Re: Drop spindles
No, typically you'll need to change over to disks immediately.

Re: Drop spindles
They currently don't make drop spindles for drum brake setups, however, you can drop your lower control arm to acheive the drop, and use stock spindles with drum brakes. I think there are a few posts on the board on how to modify your LCA's.
