Anyone make a 2.5" spindle for 88-98's? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Right now I've got 2" spindles and 3" springs on my 98. The frontend needs to be just a little lower, another 1/4-1/2" would be perfect. I know theres nothing past 3" in springs, is there any other option besides bags?

Nobody makes a 2.5 spindle for those trucks. Unforntunately your last option is to cut the coil spring down, which is typically a last resort option.

If your good at welding you could cut your lower control arm and make the cup sit a little bit lower and just weld it all back up. I wouldn't cut the spring if you could do that to the lower control arm. Dont heat the spring cuz it make the ride suck and it's hard to get them even.
