drop spindles

Ready to buy drop spindles. I can buy Belltech used or Mcgaughy`s new for just a bit more. There is also DJM , really though I want a set that won`t interfere with the a-arms with 15x7 truck rallys. I am calling on you guys experience for my decision.

Re: drop spindles

Djm are lower drop usually. A two inch drop and some grinding to fit your 15-7 rims will still be required. Can't really go wrong with either brands

Re: drop spindles

I got 2.5in McGaughys drop spindles on my truck with 15x6.5(4.25in bs) van rallys, the amount of trimming I did on the lower leading edge of the lower control arms is so minimal it isn't even noticeable. If you have a true 15x7 rallys they should have 3.75in back space, I doubt it would require much trimming or maybe not at all.

Re: drop spindles

Belltech spindles are a 3" drop. Here are the instructions as you need to do a mod for it to work.
